# CVE-2018-1299: In Apache Allura before 1.8.0, unauthenticated attackers may retrieve arbitrary files through the Allura web application.

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2018-02-06 · Updated: 2024-09-16

## Affected

- Apache Software Foundation Apache Allura: 1.0.0 to 1.7.0

## Description

In Apache Allura before 1.8.0, unauthenticated attackers may retrieve arbitrary files through the Allura web application. Some webservers used with Allura, such as Nginx, Apache/mod_wsgi or paster may prevent the attack from succeeding. Others, such as gunicorn do not prevent it and leave Allura vulnerable.

## What to do
