CVE-2025-24786: WhoDB has a path traversal opening Sqlite3 database
(updated )
While the application only displays Sqlite3 databases present in the directory /db, there is no path traversal prevention in place. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to open any Sqlite3 database present on the host machine that the application is running on.
