Path Traversal in Volmarg Personal-Management-System

CVE-2026-40526

The path route parameter is passed directly to file_get_contents() without canonicalization against a permitted base directory, enabling attackers to retrieve sensitive files accessible to the PHP-FPM worker process without using directory traversal sequences.
