An issue in the component /common/DownController.java of JFinalCMS v5.0.0 allows attackers to execute a directory traversal.
Impact
Unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files from the server through path traversal in the filekey parameter, potentially exposing database credentials, application configuration, and sensitive CMS content.
Remediation
Update JFinalCMS to a version newer than 5.0.0 that validates and sanitizes file paths in DownController.java to prevent directory traversal attacks.
