GravitLauncher is an open-source Minecraft launcher based on sashok724's v3. Prior to 5.7.12, an unauthenticated remote actor can send a raw HTTP request target without a leading slash to the default LaunchServer file server on port 9274. FileServerHandler.channelRead0 in components/launchserver/src/main/java/pro/gravit/launchserver/socket/handlers/fileserver/FileServerHandler.java strips the first request-target character and resolves the remaining path against updatesDir without re-normalizing and verifying containment. This leaves parent-directory components in a no-leading-slash request and allows reading any file accessible to the LaunchServer process, including .keys/ecdsa_id, .keys/legacySalt, and LaunchServer.json. Disclosure of those files can expose signing keys, refresh-token material, and database credentials, enabling forged administrative access tokens and full authentication bypass. A normalizing L7 proxy may block the primary request form, but direct exposure and L4/TCP proxies remain affected, and netty.fileServerEnabled is enabled by default. This issue is fixed in 5.7.12.
