2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33203)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within the "admindocs" view. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


3) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33571)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the "URLValidator", "validate_ipv4_address()" and "validate_ipv46_address()" . A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
