### Summary When a WebDriver is used to fetch files source:file:///etc/passwd can be used to retrieve local system files, where the more traditional file:///etc/passwd gets blocked ### Details The root cause is the payload source:file:///etc/passwdpasses the regex [here](https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/blob/master/changedetectionio/model/Watch.py#L19) and also passes the check [here](https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/blob/master/changedetectionio/processors/__init__.py#L35) where a traditional file:///etc/passwd would get blocked ### PoC [CL-ChangeDetection.io Path Travsersal-311024-181039.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17591630/CL-ChangeDetection.io.Path.Travsersal-311024-181039.pdf) ### Impact It depends on where the webdriver is deployed but generally this is a high impact vulnerability
### Summary By default `oak` does not allow transferring of hidden files with `Context.send` API. However, this can be bypassed by encoding `/` as its URL encoded form `%2F`. ### Details 1.) Oak uses [decodeComponent](https://github.com/oakserver/oak/blob/3896fe568b25ac0b4c5afbf822ff8344c3d1712a/send.ts#L182C10-L182C25) which seems to be unexpected. This is also the reason why it is not possible to access a file that contains URL encoded characters unless the client URL encodes it first. 2.) The function [isHidden](https://github.com/oakserver/oak/blob/3896fe568b25ac0b4c5afbf822ff8344c3d1712a/send.ts#L117-L125) is flawed since it only checks if the first subpath is hidden, allowing secrets to be read from `subdir/.env`. ### PoC ```ts // server.ts import { Application } from "jsr:@oak/oak@17.1.2"; const app = new Application(); app.use(async (context, next) => { try { await context.send({ root: './root', hidden: false, // default }); } catch { await ...
