Vulnerability details

A path traversal vulnerability in the get-project-files functionality of stitionai/devika allows attackers to read arbitrary files from the filesystem and cause a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue is present in all versions of the application. The vulnerability arises due…

more

to insufficient path sanitization for the 'project-name' parameter, enabling attackers to specify paths that traverse the filesystem. By setting 'project-name' to the root directory, an attacker can cause the application to attempt to read the entire filesystem, leading to a DoS condition.

Why these techniques?

Path traversal enables file and directory discovery (T1083) via arbitrary file reads, exploitation of public-facing application (T1190), and endpoint DoS (T1499) via filesystem exhaustion.
