Access to payload helper file denied

[TimMaasGeesteranus]

I am having trouble accessing the payloads.txt file in a very specific folder structure with Nuclei. Below is the structure of the files and folders:

poc.yaml:

id: poc

info:
  name: poc payloads error
  author: tim
  severity: high
  description: proof of concept for payloads error

requests:      
  - method: GET
    path:
      - "{{BaseURL}}/api/users?page={{pagenumber}}"

    payloads:
      pagenumber: /payloads/payloads.txt

payloads.txt:

1
2
3

When the folder structure is like this, everything works fine:

poc/
├── payloads/
│   └── payloads.txt
└── poc.yaml

However, when I move poc.yaml into a separate templates folder like this, it fails:

poc/
├── payloads/
│   └── payloads.txt
└── templates/
    └── poc.yaml

When I try to validate the template with the following command:

nuclei -t templates/poc.yaml -validate

I get the following error:

[ERR] Error occurred parsing template /home/directories/poc/templates/poc.yaml: could not compile request: could not parse payloads: could not load payload file: [:RUNTIME] access to helper file /home/directories/poc/payloads/payloads.txt denied

[FTL] Could not validate templates: errors occurred during template validation

All files mentioned have rwx permission

My Nuclei version is 3.3.4

@TimMaasGeesteranus for security reasons, access to local file outside of template directory is disabled as default, but you can optionally enable it with -allow-local-file-access option.

   -lfa, -allow-local-file-access  allows file (payload) access anywhere on the system

Cool! That fixes the problem, thanks (:
