CVE-2026-44258 Details
Description
efw4.X is an Enterprise Framework for Web. Prior to 4.08.010, the elfinder_checkRisk function validates target and targets for path traversal and home containment, but does not validate the dst (destination) parameter used by elfinder_paste. An attacker can copy or move files from within the home directory to any arbitrary destination by setting dst to a base64-encoded traversal path. This bypasses the protected=true security control. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.08.010.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in efw4.X versions prior to 4.08.010. The issue arises in the elfinder_paste function, where the destination parameter (dst) is not properly validated. This lack of validation allows an attacker to copy or move files from the home directory to any arbitrary location by encoding a traversal path in base64. This exploitation bypasses the protected=true security control.
Users are advised to update to efw4.X version 4.08.010 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
