Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.37%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Microweber CMS through 2.0.20 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the static file controller that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying directory traversal sequences in the path query parameter. Attackers can send a single unauthenticated HTTP GET request exploiting the failure of normalize_path() to strip traversal sequences, disclosing sensitive files such as environment configuration files containing credentials and system files.
