CVE-2023-29586 (GCVE-0-2023-29586)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-04-19 00:00 – Updated: 2025-02-05 15:23 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
Code Sector TeraCopy 3.9.7 does not perform proper access validation on the source folder during a copy operation. This leads to Arbitrary File Read by allowing any user to copy any directory in the system to a directory they control. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because only admin users can copy arbitrary folders, and because the 143984 reference is about a different concern (unrelated to directory copying) that was fixed in 3.5b.
Severity
