Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Webtrees 2.1.18 is vulnerable to Directory Traversal. By manipulating the "mediafolder" parameter in the URL, an attacker (in this case, an administrator) can navigate beyond the intended directory (the 'media/' directory) to access sensitive files in other parts of the application's file system.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-22723

Advisory: Webtrees Path Traversal vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2024-22723, GHSA-6w5q-79rf-7c49
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-22723 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:29 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist fisharebest/webtrees: affected <= 2.1.18

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist fisharebest/webtrees: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on fisharebest/webtrees.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
