Directory traversal vulnerability in Plone CMS 5.x through 5.0.6 and 4.2.x through 4.3.11 allows remote administrators to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter in a getFile action to Plone/++theme++barceloneta/@@plone.resourceeditor.filemanager-actions.
CVE-2016-7135
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.9 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 2.6%, top 16% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
