Summary
Nging, up to and including version 5.3.5, is affected by an information disclosure flaw in which any logged-in backend user, even one without file-manager permission, can list directories on the host system through a specific endpoint. This lets them see which directories and files exist on the server that the Nging process can read.

Read the original description
Nging through 5.3.5 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows any authenticated backend user to list host directories by abusing the public-tagged /user/autocomplete_path endpoint. Low-privileged users without file-manager permission can supply arbitrary paths in the query parameter to enumerate directories readable by the Nging process and confirm specific files exist.
