Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Path traversal in the OpenMRS Core package org.openmrs.web:openmrs-web affects versions 2.7.8 and earlier, and 2.8.0 before 2.8.6. The ModuleResourcesServlet endpoint does not validate user-supplied paths, so an unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files on the server, such as configuration files containing database credentials. The source says exploitation requires Apache Tomcat older than 8.5.31. Upgrade to version 2.8.6.
