CVE-2023-46497
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDirectory Traversal vulnerability in EverShop NPM versions before v.1.0.0-rc.8 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via a crafted request to the mkdirSync function in the folderCreate/createFolder.js endpoint.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDirectory traversal vulnerability in EverShop's folder creation endpoint (folderCreate/createFolder.js) allows remote attackers to manipulate path arguments in the mkdirSync function to access files outside the intended directory, potentially exposing sensitive system information.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify EverShop installationLocate the EverShop application directory. Check for package.json file containing 'evershop' in the project root.Affected if EverShop version 1.0.0 is installed and the folderCreate endpoint is accessible.
-
Verify installed EverShop versionRun 'npm list evershop' or inspect package.json to confirm the exact version number.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0.0.
-
Locate vulnerable folder creation endpointSearch for the file folderCreate/createFolder.js in the codebase and verify it uses mkdirSync.Affected if The file folderCreate/createFolder.js exists and uses mkdirSync without proper path sanitization.
-
Check if endpoint is accessibleReview application routing configuration to confirm the folderCreate endpoint is exposed via API.Affected if The /folderCreate endpoint is publicly or internally accessible without authentication.
-
Inspect path handling in createFolder.jsExamine the createFolder.js file to see if user-supplied path arguments are passed directly to mkdirSync without validation.Affected if Path parameters are used in mkdirSync without sanitization to block '../' sequences.
You are affected if you are running EverShop version 1.0.0 with the folderCreate/createFolder.js endpoint accessible and the path argument is passed to mkdirSync without directory traversal protection.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade EverShop to version v1.0.0-rc.8 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement input validation and path sanitization on the createFolder endpoint to block directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../ patterns).
EverShop v.1.0.0-rc.8 or later
- Identify the current EverShop version in use
- Backup the existing installation and database
- Upgrade EverShop to version 1.0.0-rc.8 or later
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
- Test that the /folderCreate/createFolder.js endpoint no longer accepts path traversal sequences
