1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-54386)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to path traversal in the unzipFile function in /plugins/client.go when extracting a crafted WASM plugin ZIP archive. A remote privileged user can supply a malicious ZIP archive containing ../ sequences to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation requires plugins to be enabled and a WASM plugin asset loaded by the server, and user interaction is required.
