In Eclipse Theia versions 1.66.0 and up until including 1.73.1, the @theia/plugin-ext backend exposes the /hostedPlugin/:pluginId/:path(*) HTTP endpoint, which resolves the requested file path with path.resolve(localPath, filePath) without verifying that the resolved path stays within the plugin's directory. An unauthenticated network attacker can send percent-encoded ../ sequences (%2e%2e%2f) that decode into the path parameter and escape the plugin directory, allowing arbitrary files readable by the Theia backend process to be retrieved. Plugin IDs are derived deterministically from a plugin's publisher and name, so built-in plugins serve as reliable anchors that require no prior knowledge of the target system.
