Title
Pimcore Path Traversal Vulnerability in AssetController:importServerFilesAction
Summary
Pimcore is an Open Source Data & Experience Management Platform: PIM, MDM, CDP, DAM, DXP/CMS & Digital Commerce. A path traversal vulnerability exists in the `AssetController::importServerFilesAction`, which allows an attacker to overwrite or modify sensitive files by manipulating the pimcore_log parameter.This can lead to potential denial of service---key file overwrite.
The impact of this vulnerability allows attackers to: overwrite or modify sensitive files, potentially leading to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or disclosure of confidential information. This could also cause a denial of service (DoS) if critical system files are overwritten or deleted.
