Assigner: MITRE

Description
A path traversal vulnerability in FastX3 thru 3.3.67 allows an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the server. By leveraging this vulnerability, it is possible to access the application's configuration files, which contain the secret key used to sign JSON Web Tokens as well as existing JTIs. With this information, an attacker can forge valid JWTs, impersonate the root user, and achieve remote code execution in privileged context via authenticated endpoints.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a path traversal flaw in FastX3 versions up to 3.3.67 that allows an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the server. By exploiting this, the attacker can access configuration files containing the secret key used to sign JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and existing JTIs. With these, the attacker can forge valid JWTs, impersonate the root user, and execute remote code with privileged access through authenticated endpoints.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to severe impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive files, compromise of authentication tokens, impersonation of the root user, and remote code execution with elevated privileges. This can result in full system compromise and loss of control over the affected server.
