# CVE-2024-56477: Able to traverse through directories from a restricted environment and access Power Hardware Management Console (HMC) source code
## Description
A privieleged user could identify the location of the source code from the already running process and completely access it via scp. The issue arises because of insufficient authorization controls configured for a low privileged user, a possible way of bypassing restricted bash.
- **Vulnerability Type**: Directory Traversal
- **Severity**: Medium (CVSS: 6.5)
- **Impact**: Restricted Bash Breakout
### Summary
After escaping the restricted shell, an attacker could access sensitive data and files that were previously inaccessible.
Also If an attacker successfully breaks out of the restricted Bash environment, they may gain access to a broader set of system privileges, potentially escalating from a low-privileged user to a higher one.
