Hello,  
I’m using SCM-Manager 2.27.2 and our security team found a path traversal attach.  
Example: wget --no-check-certificate [https://xxx:14151/scm//etc/passwd](https://xxx:14151/scm//etc/passwd)

Its unclear if this issue is due to a misconfiguration of SCM-Manager or a vulnerability in the application itself. SCM-Manager release notes and security advisories do not state that the current version is affected by a known pathtraversal vulnerability

Can you help?

Thanks

Hi,

thanks for this report. We can reproduce this and have found the error. Right now the release build of 2.29.1 is running and the fixed version should be available within the next hour.

We decided to “unlist” this post for the next days, so users have the chance to patch their installations.

We will make this public again after some time (probably following [responsible disclosure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsible_disclosure) standards).

We hope you approve this approach, @rjsalmeida . And thanks again for this important information.
