CVE-2024-55602
Prior to commit 1d4219c596f4f518798492e48386a20c6e9a2fe6, an authenticated user who is able to update and download templates can inject path traversal (`../`) sequences into the file extension property to read arbitrary files on the system.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.69%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
