How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
You can detect this vulnerability by attempting to access sensitive files through directory traversal in the /templates/ component of RiteCMS v3.1.0. For example, using curl or wget commands to request URLs with directory traversal patterns such as '/templates/../../../../etc/passwd' may reveal if the system is vulnerable. [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
