Versions of Koji up to 1.17.0 are susceptible to remote directory traversal, risking unauthorized privilege escalation. To fix this, update to the latest version where the issue is resolved. Additionally, perform strict input validation and parameter sanitization on user inputs. Implement robust access controls, limiting user permissions to essential levels. Regularly review and audit server configurations and file permissions to spot potential exploitation risks. For enhanced security, monitor logs for suspicious file access and user activity.
Koji through 1.17.0 allows remote Directory Traversal, with resulting Privilege Escalation
