CVE-2020-27385 describes an Incorrect Access Control vulnerability in FlexDotnetCMS versions prior to 1.5.11, specifically within the FileEditor component. Authenticated attackers can exploit directory traversal techniques (e.g., ../../) to read and write to arbitrary files outside the web root, with older versions also allowing full path specification. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) has a low attack complexity and can lead to significant compromise of confidentiality and integrity. While no public exploits (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) are known and there's minimal community discussion or media coverage, the potential for unauthorized file manipulation remains a critical concern.
