Summary

GHOSTS is an open source user simulation framework for cyber experimentation, simulation, training, and exercise.

When an NPC is created with a specially crafted photoLink value containing path traversal sequences (../, ..\, etc.), the application processes these sequences without proper sanitization. This allows an attacker to traverse directory structures and access files outside of the intended photo directory, pote
