Summary

Sockso Music Host Server versions <= 1.5 are vulnerable to a path traversal flaw that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server’s filesystem. The vulnerability exists in the HTTP interface on port 4444, where the endpoint /file/ fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Attackers can traverse directories and access sensitive files outside the intended web root.
