CVE-2026-30234 Details
Description
OpenProject is an open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.2.0, an authenticated project member with BCF import permissions can upload a crafted .bcf archive where the <Snapshot> value in markup.bcf is manipulated to contain an absolute or traversal local path (for example: /etc/passwd or ../../../../etc/passwd). During import, this untrusted <Snapshot> value is used as file.path during attachment processing. As a result, local filesystem content can be read outside the intended ZIP scope. This results in an Arbitrary File Read (AFR) within the read permissions of the OpenProject application user. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.2.0.
A path traversal vulnerability allowing arbitrary file read has been identified in OpenProject versions prior to 17.2.0. The issue arises when an authenticated project member with BCF import permissions uploads a manipulated .bcf archive. The <Snapshot> value in markup.bcf can be altered to include an absolute or traversal local path, such as /etc/passwd. During the import process, this untrusted <Snapshot> value is used as file.path in attachment processing, enabling access to local filesystem content outside the intended ZIP scope. This vulnerability allows reading of arbitrary files within the OpenProject application user's permissions.
Users can upgrade to OpenProject version 17.2.0 or later to address this vulnerability.
