Path Traversal in Trudesk via Backup Operations

Publication date: 2026-10-21

Last updated on: 2026-10-29

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description

Trudesk through 1.2.11 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows administrators to delete arbitrary files by supplying encoded traversal sequences to DELETE /api/v1/backup/:backup. Attackers can also pass unvalidated file values to POST /api/v1/backup/restore to restore archives from, or extract to, paths outside the intended directories.

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-22	The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

Trudesk through 1.2.11 has a path traversal vulnerability allowing administrators to delete arbitrary files via encoded traversal sequences in DELETE /api/v1/backup/:backup requests. Attackers can also restore archives to unintended directories using unvalidated file paths in POST /api/v1/backup/restore.

Detection Guidance

Check Trudesk API endpoints for suspicious requests to DELETE /api/v1/backup/:backup or POST /api/v1/backup/restore with encoded traversal sequences like ../ or unvalidated file paths. Monitor logs for unauthorized file deletions or restores outside intended directories.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with admin access could delete critical system files, overwrite sensitive data, or restore backups to unauthorized locations. This could lead to data loss, system compromise, or unauthorized access to application assets and user information.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could violate GDPR by enabling unauthorized data deletion or modification, and HIPAA by compromising protected health information integrity. Compliance failures may result in legal penalties, data breach notifications, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Trudesk to a patched version beyond 1.2.11. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the /api/v1/backup endpoints to trusted administrators only and implement strict input validation for file paths in backup and restore operations.
