Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper client ID sanitization in the CreateCollection API flow. The commit fixes show the addition of utils.ValidateClientId()
in ScheduleArtifactCollectionFromCollectorArgs, indicating this was the entry point where unvalidated client IDs were processed. The function's pre-patch behavior allowed directory traversal by accepting crafted client_ids to target server artifacts while only requiring client collection privileges. The high confidence comes from the direct correlation between the vulnerability description and the validation
added in this specific function.
