## Overview

ZoneMinder versions 1.37.0 before 1.38.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the files view that allows authenticated users to read arbitrary files. The path parameter is not properly validated before being passed to output_file, enabling attackers with Events view permission to access sensitive files like configuration files containing database credentials.
