CVE-2020-35284

CVE-2020-35284 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in Flamingo (aka FlamingoIM) versions through 2020-09-29. This flaw allows an attacker to access arbitrary files due to a client-side MD5 computation in file transfer requests, which can be easily reverse-engineered from the publicly available source code. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), this vulnerability poses a significant risk of high confidentiality impact without requiring user interaction or complex attack conditions. While there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, the potential for unauthorized data access remains a concern.
