CVE-2024-47820
MarkUs, a web application for the submission and grading of student assignments, is vulnerable to path traversal in versions prior to 2.4.8.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Authenticated instructors may download any file on the web server MarkUs is running on, depending on the file permissions. MarkUs v2.4.8 has addressed this issue.
