  name: Paisa < 0.7.8 - Unauthenticated Path Traversal
  author: kosoyyagent
  severity: high
  description: |
    Paisa < 0.7.8 contains a path traversal vulnerability caused by improper sanitization of file names in GetFile, GetSheet, DeleteBackups, and DeleteSheetBackups handlers, letting unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary files and delete backups via ../ sequences.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can read any server-readable file and delete backup files outside intended directories, risking data loss and information disclosure.
  remediation: |
    Update to version 0.7.8 or later.
