{"id":"CVE-2023-49294","summary":"Asterisk Path Traversal vulnerability","details":"Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. In Asterisk prior to versions 18.20.1, 20.5.1, and 21.0.1, as well as certified-asterisk prior to 18.9-cert6, it is possible to read any arbitrary file even when the `live_dangerously` is not enabled. This allows arbitrary files to be read. Asterisk versions 18.20.1, 20.5.1, and 21.0.1, as well as certified-asterisk prior to 18.9-cert6, contain a fix for this issue.","aliases":["GHSA-8857-hfmw-vg8f"],"modified":"2026-04-10T05:05:02.407875Z","published":"2023-12-14T19:40:46.157Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-22"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/49xxx/CVE-2023-49294.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/main/manager.c#L3757"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/12/msg00019.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/49xxx/CVE-2023-49294.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/security/advisories/GHSA-8857-hfmw-vg8f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-49294"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/424be345639d75c6cb7d0bd2da5f0f407dbd0bd5"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"14d0e59f3d8f7521621561168ef4a297702d978f"},{"last_affected":"12da95e53ff42287ad69d6d5922e06c3d62010ac"},{"fixed":"35e0c6c0f4ec35493e9a4bb938226722ded35c61"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"18.20.1"},{"last_affected":"= 21.0.0"},{"fixed":"18.9-cert6"}]}},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk","events":[{"introduced":"de4f63b4824c91a0cd9f3d95f3b7923bec71960c"},{"fixed":"f7a8ac086de697db30e376d589a6f4e17cfabef5"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"19.0.0"},{"fixed":"20.5.1"}]}}],"versions":["18.17.0","18.17.0-rc1","18.17.1","18.18.0","18.18.0-rc1","18.18.1","18.19.0","18.19.0-rc1","18.19.0-rc2","18.20.0","18.20.0-rc1","18.9.0","18.9.0-rc1","21.0.0","21.0.0-pre1","21.0.0-rc1","certified-18.9-cert4","certified-18.9-cert5","certified/18.9-cert1","certified/18.9-cert1-rc1","certified/18.9-cert2","certified/18.9-cert3","certified/18.9-cert4"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-49294.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
