Description

Impact

Users who run PokeAPI on the public Internet might suffer from a Path Traversal vulnerability on the Nginx container that proxies PokeAPI. The only data that an attacker might see is the filesystem of the container itself. The only sensitive information an attacker could see is thus the SSL certificate and its key that Nginx is currently exposing.

Workarounds

Manually patch the Nginx conf

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
