## What is CVE-2025-24960?

CVE-2025-24960 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in CyferShepard Jellystat, published on 3 Feb 2025. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Jellystat is a free and open source Statistics App for Jellyfin. In affected versions Jellystat is directly using a user input in the route(s). This can lead to Path Traversal Vulnerabilities. Since this functionality is only for admin(s), there is very little scope for abuse. However, the `DELETE` `files/:filename` can be used to delete any file. This issue has been addressed in version 1.1.3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Weakness: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory)
