FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-26960 is a critical path traversal vulnerability affecting std42 elFinder versions through 2.1.60, specifically within the connector.minimal.php component. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read, write, and browse files outside the intended document root due to improper handling of absolute file paths. With a CVSS score of 9.1 (CRITICAL), it presents a high risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and significant potential for confidentiality and integrity compromise.
