Description
Heym before 0.0.21 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the file upload endpoint that allows authenticated users to write attacker-controlled files to arbitrary locations by supplying a crafted filename with traversal sequences. Attackers can exploit the unvalidated filename parameter in the upload_file() handler to bypass path restrictions and write, read, or delete files outside the intended storage directory.
