CVE Database - Path Traversal

Path traversal vulnerability in Gleam's dependency management allows arbitrary directory deletion via malicious build/packages/packages.toml content. Package keys read from build/packages/packages.toml by LocalPackages::read_from_disc are passed without validation to paths.build_packages_package(), which constructs a filesystem path by joining the project build directory with the attacker-controlled key. The resulting path is then passed to fs::delete_directory (which calls remove_dir_all). No check is performed to ensure the path remains within the intended build/packages/ directory. Both absolute paths and relative traversal sequences (e.g. ../) are accepted as package keys, allowing deletion of arbitrary directories. An attacker who can cause a victim to run gleam deps download on a project containing a malicious build/packages/packages.toml (e.g. by committing the normally-gitignored file to a repository) can cause arbitrary directories on the victim's system to be recursively deleted. This issue affects Gleam from 0.18.0-rc1 until 1.17.0.

Path traversal vulnerability in Gleam's handling of custom documentation pages allows arbitrary file read and file write outside the intended documentation output directory. The documentation.pages entries from gleam.toml are incorporated into filesystem paths without sufficient validation or confinement to the intended project and documentation output directories. The documentation.pages[].path field can be used to write generated documentation files outside the intended build/dev/docs/<package>/ output directory. The documentation.pages[].source field can be used to read files outside the project directory and embed their contents into generated documentation output. An attacker who can convince a victim to run gleam docs build on an untrusted project, or with untrusted gleam.toml content, can cause local files readable by the victim to be included in generated documentation artifacts, and can cause generated documentation files to be written outside the intended docs output directory. This issue affects Gleam from 1.16.0 until 1.17.0.

In createSessionInternal of PackageInstallerService.java, there is a possible to update a Device Policy Controller (DPC) into an invalid directory due to a path traversal error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Banana Slides through 0.4.0, patched in commit e8bc490, contains a path traversal vulnerability in the generate_image() function within the AI service backend that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary image-format files outside the intended uploads directory by exploiting an incomplete path prefix check using os.path.startswith() without a trailing separator. Attackers can supply crafted markdown image references in user-controlled page descriptions that resolve to sibling directories whose names share the uploads folder prefix, bypassing the directory confinement check and causing the application to read files from unintended locations via PIL Image.open().

CloakBrowser is a tool to bypass bot detection tests. Prior to version 0.3.28, the cloakserve CDP multiplexer uses the user-supplied fingerprint query parameter directly as a filesystem path component when creating Chrome profile directories. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the cloakserve port can supply a crafted fingerprint value containing path traversal sequences to resolve user_data_dir outside the configured data_dir. When Chrome fails to start or the process is cleaned up, shutil.rmtree() deletes the traversed path, resulting in arbitrary directory deletion. Additionally, cloakserve bound to 0.0.0.0 by default, making it network-exposed. This issue has been patched in version 0.3.28.

Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform. In Nextcloud Server from versions 31.0.0 to before 31.0.14, and 32.0.0 to before 32.0.4, if {lang} is used in the template directory config value, non-admin users can in some cases copy arbitrary files (depending on unix permissions) into their own Nextcloud directory via a path traversal. It is recommended that the Nextcloud Server is upgraded to 32.0.4, 31.0.14. It is recommended that the Nextcloud Enterprise Server is upgraded to 32.0.4, 31.0.14, 30.0.17.7, 29.0.17.12, 28.0.14.15

F5-TTS through version 1.1.20 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the finetune Gradio handlers that allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files by passing unsanitized user-supplied project names directly to os.path.join() without validating the resulting path stays within the intended base directory. Attackers can supply absolute path arguments such as /tmp/EVIL to override the base directory entirely and create arbitrary directories with attacker-controlled JSON content at any filesystem path writable by the server process.

A vulnerability was determined in ishayoyo excel-mcp up to 1.0.2. Impacted is an unknown function of the file src/index.ts of the component read_file/write_file. Executing a manipulation of the argument filePath/outputPath can lead to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

pip would treat console_scripts and gui_scripts as paths instead of file names without sanitizing the resolved absolute path to the installation directory, leading to entry points being installed outside the installation directory.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Mamunur Rashid Classified Listing allows Path Traversal. This issue affects Classified Listing: from n/a through 5.3.8.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Rocketgenius Inc. Gravity Forms allows Path Traversal. This issue affects Gravity Forms: from n/a through 2.10.0.1.

A vulnerability was determined in lharries whatsapp-mcp 0.0.1. Affected by this vulnerability is the function SendMessageRequest of the file whatsapp-bridge/main.go of the component Send API Endpoint. This manipulation of the argument mediaPath causes path traversal. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Patch name: 6657cdceadd361e8fbe824afe9d00b4504009a5d. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.

Vertex is a management tool for PT (Private Tracker) users to manage streaming and watching videos. Versions prior to commit fbde301b97986d5913fc4bc95f5445750d282e11 are vulnerable to path traversal. Users should upgrade to a version containing commit fbde301b97986d5913fc4bc95f5445750d282e11 to receive a patch.

Path traversal vulnerability in Apache MINA SSHD bundle sshd-git. Lack of path validation in git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and other git operations allows users authenticated over SSH access to git repositories outside the configured git server root directory. Applications are affected if they use org.apache.sshd:sshd-git. Applications not using sshd-git are not affected. Users are advised to upgrade affected applications to Apche MINA SSHD 2.18.0, which fixes the issue. The issue also is present in the pre-release milestones 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M3 for a new upcoming new major version 3.0.0. Again, applications are affected only if they use sshd-git. Upgrade affected applications to 3.0.0-M4. We would like to point out that a professional git server should not rely solely on file system layout and permissions, but should implement additional security controls to govern access to git repositories and operations allowed on particular git repositories.

SOPlanning is vulnerable to Path Traversal in backup endpoints. Authenticated remote attacker is able to exploit a vulnerable endpoint and construct payloads that allow reading and executing files previously added through the backup functionality. Critically, due to CVE-2026-40543 (Missing Authorization), any backup file can be read by any (unauthorized) user. This issue affects SOPlanning version 1.55 and below.

A security flaw has been discovered in AstrBotDevs AstrBot 4.23.6. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /api/skills/delete of the component API Endpoint. Performing a manipulation of the argument Name results in path traversal. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Open STA Manager 2.3 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated users to download arbitrary files by manipulating the file parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to modules/backup/actions.php with op=getfile and traverse directories using ../ sequences to access sensitive system files.

The Open ISES Project 3.30A contains a path traversal vulnerability in the ajax/download.php endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to download arbitrary files by manipulating the filename parameter. Attackers can supply directory traversal sequences ../ in the filename parameter to access files outside the intended directory, including configuration files and system files.

SillyTavern is a locally installed user interface that allows users to interact with text generation large language models, image generation engines, and text-to-speech voice models. Prior to 1.18.0, POST /api/extensions/delete endpoint accepts extensionName: "." which bypasses sanitize-filename validation, causing the entire user extensions directory to be recursively deleted. No authentication is required in the default configuration. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.18.0.

Arcane is an interface for managing Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes. Prior to 1.19.4, ProjectService.GetProjectFileContent returns the contents of any Docker Compose include directive declared in a project's compose file before any path-traversal validation runs. Because ProjectService.CreateProject writes attacker-supplied compose content to disk without validating include paths, an authenticated user can create a project whose compose file declares include: ['../../../../etc/passwd'], then read the include via the project file API. The result is arbitrary read of any file readable by the Arcane backend process, including /app/data/arcane.db (the SQLite database containing every user's password hash and API key), enabling escalation to admin and, via Arcane's Docker control plane, RCE on the host. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.19.4.

Trilium Notes is a cross-platform, hierarchical note taking application focused on building large personal knowledge bases. Prior to 0.102.2, a malicious ZIP archive imported with safe import enabled achieves RCE via #docName path traversal and XSS by combining a payload note (type: code, mime: text/plain) containing raw HTML/JS and a trigger note (type: doc or type: launcher) with a #docName label that uses ../ path traversal to point at the payload note's API endpoint. The desktop client Electron renderer runs with nodeIntegration enabled, so an RCE is triggered once the payload is executed. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.102.2.

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). In 0.26.5 and earlier, a critical path traversal vulnerability exists in Dokploy v0.26.5 that allows authenticated users to write arbitrary files to the filesystem during application deployment. When combined with Dokploy's remote server deployment feature, this vulnerability enables arbitrary file write to remote server filesystems, automatic remote code execution via cron jobs, complete server compromise, data exfiltration without user interaction, and persistent backdoor installation. This vulnerability bypasses all container isolation on remote server deployments.

xiaomusic v0.5.7 contains an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in the GET /music/{file_path:path} endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files outside the intended music directory by exploiting an incomplete path prefix check. Attackers can request files from sibling directories whose names share the music_path prefix by crafting traversal sequences, bypassing the path restriction due to the missing trailing separator in the comparison logic to retrieve arbitrary files from the server.

The template upload feature in Emlog Pro v2.6.9 has a path traversal vulnerability, allowing authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code. By uploading a malicious ZIP archive containing directory traversal sequences in filenames, an attacker can overwrite default template files or directly include malicious code files in the current template.

Navigate CMS 2.8.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated users to download arbitrary files by injecting directory traversal sequences in the id parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to navigate_download.php with path traversal payloads ../../../cfg/globals.php to access sensitive configuration files and system files outside the intended directory.

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In 29.0 and earlier, an unauthenticated remote attacker can read arbitrary image files anywhere on disk that the PHP user can open — including private user-profile photos that the application's normal serving wrappers gate behind ACLs, admin-uploaded thumbnails, encrypted-video poster frames, and image content under sibling-app directories reachable via .. traversal. The endpoint requires no authentication.

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In 29.0 and earlier, view/update.php reads $_POST['updateFile'] as a relative path under updatedb/ and passes it to PHP's file() for line-by-line execution as part of a database migration. An authenticated administrator can abuse this to read arbitrary text files reachable from the web-server process.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the campaign import feature of Mautic 7. When extracting uploaded ZIP files during campaign imports, a flaw in the validation logic allows file paths to escape the intended temporary directories. An authenticated user with campaign import privileges (campaign:imports:create) can write arbitrary PHP files to sensitive system directories. An attacker can exploit this to overwrite critical internal configuration or cache components, resulting in Remote Code Execution (RCE) under the context of the web server user.

Billy is an interface filesystem abstraction for Go. Prior to 5.9.0, multiple path traversal issues exist across different components of go-billy. Insufficient path sanitization and boundary enforcement may allow crafted paths (e.g., using ..) to escape intended base directories. While go-billy was not originally designed to provide a strong security boundary, some of these issues were inconsistent across some of the built-in implementations. This results in scenarios where applications relying on go-billy for some level of isolation may inadvertently expose access to unintended filesystem locations. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.9.0.

Portainer Community Edition is a lightweight service delivery platform for containerized applications that can be used to manage Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes and ACI environments. From 2.33.0 to before 2.33.8, Portainer's backup restore feature accepts a .tar.gz archive and extracts it to a target directory on the server. The extraction function (ExtractTarGz in api/archive/targz.go) constructed output paths using filepath.Clean(filepath.Join(outputDirPath, header.Name)). This combination does not prevent directory traversal — a tar entry named ../../etc/cron.d/evil resolves to a path outside the extraction root, so a crafted archive can write files to arbitrary locations on the server filesystem. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.33.8.

Music Player Daemon (MPD) before version 0.24.11 contains a path traversal vulnerability in LocalStorage::MapFSOrThrow and LocalStorage::MapUTF8 within the local storage plugin, where the on-disk path is constructed by joining the storage root with a user-supplied URI as plain strings without canonicalization, allowing '..' segments to survive into the resolved path and be flattened by the kernel at openat() time. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw using the listfiles command to enumerate names, sizes, and modification times of arbitrary directories readable by the MPD process, and the albumart command to read image files in any attacker-chosen directory outside the configured music_directory.

A path traversal vulnerability was identified in Kibana's dashboard management functionality. An authenticated user with limited permissions could create a dashboard with a specially crafted identifier. When an administrator subsequently attempts to delete this dashboard through the Kibana interface, the deletion request is redirected to an unintended internal endpoint, potentially resulting in the unauthorized deletion of user accounts or other resources. Exploitation requires an administrator to perform a delete action on the maliciously crafted dashboard object.

DeepCode through commit c991dc2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the SPA catch-all route in new_ui/backend/main.py that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying percent-encoded path segments to the GET /{full_path:path} endpoint. Attackers can bypass Starlette's path normalization by encoding slashes as %2F and dots as %2E%2E, causing the joined path to traverse outside FRONTEND_DIST and exposing sensitive files such as SSH private keys, TLS certificates, and application secrets with a single HTTP request.

vllm-project/vllm version 0.14.1 contains a vulnerability where the `trust_remote_code=True` parameter is hardcoded in two model implementation files (`vllm/model_executor/models/nemotron_vl.py` and `vllm/model_executor/models/kimi_k25.py`). This bypasses the user's explicit `--trust-remote-code=False` setting, enabling remote code execution via malicious HuggingFace model repositories. This issue is an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-66448 and CVE-2026-22807, as it affects separate code paths in model implementation files. Deployments loading NemotronVL or KimiK25 models are particularly impacted.

Python Liquid is a Python engine for the Liquid template language. Prior to 2.2.0, the built-in FileSystemLoader and CachingFileSystemLoader do not guard against reading files outside their search paths when given an absolute path to resolve. This allows malicious template authors to load and render arbitrary files via the {% include %} and {% render %} tags. Targeted files would need to contain valid Liquid markup and be readable by the application process. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.0.

esm.sh is a no-build content delivery network (CDN) for web development. In 137 and earlier, a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the esbuild plugin's handling of the browser field in package.json. An attacker can publish an npm package that causes the server to read and return arbitrary files from the host filesystem during the build process.

esm.sh is a no-build content delivery network (CDN) for web development. In 137 and earlier, the legacy router first retrieves a response from legacyServer, parses the incoming request path, and ultimately writes the data to storage via buildStorage.Put. The router concatenates the path components without sanitizing them, producing a storage key. When this key is used, the underlying file system resolves the relative segments and writes the file to the specified path. Thus an attacker can craft a request that writes data to arbitrary locations on the server.

An issue was discovered in Canonical Multipass before version 1.16.3. The host-side SFTP server component (sshfs_server), which executes with root privileges on the host, contains a path containment bypass vulnerability within its validate_path function in src/sshfs_mount/sftp_server.cpp. The function performs a plain string prefix comparison on requested paths without path separator validation or dot-dot (..) normalization. A local attacker with root privileges inside a guest virtual machine can bypass the FUSE layer by injecting raw SFTP frames (such as an SSH_FXP_OPEN request) directly into the sshfs_server process stdin/stdout pipes via procfs. By supplying a path containing directory traversal sequences that match the allowed mount prefix, the attacker can force the host-side root process to resolve the traversal and open files outside the designated mount boundary. This allows a guest-side user to read arbitrary files on the host filesystem, resulting in a virtual machine escape.

A Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability affects Acer NitroSense software versions prior to 3.01.3052. The vulnerability stems from the the PSAdminAgent service, which creates a Named Pipe with a weak Access Control List (ACL). This allows any authenticated local user to connect and send commands. Because the service does not check the caller's privileges before running file deletion commands, a low-privileged local user can exploit this to delete arbitrary files with system authority.

Microsoft UFO open-source framework for intelligent automation across devices and platforms. In 3.0.1-4-ge2626659, Microsoft UFO uses the user-controlled task_name value directly when constructing session log paths. An authenticated client can supply path traversal sequences in task_name and cause UFO to create log directories and log files outside the intended logs/ directory.

Northern.tech Mender Server v4.1.0, v4.0.1 and below, and fixed in v4.1.1 and v4.0.2 allows Directory Traversal.

Kysely is a type-safe TypeScript SQL query builder. From 0.26.0 to 0.28.16, DefaultQueryCompiler.visitJSONPathLeg does not escape JSON-path metacharacters (., [, ], *, **, ?). When attacker-controlled input flows into eb.ref(col, '->$').key(input) or .at(input) — including type-safe code where the JSON column is shaped like Record<string, T> so K extends string is the inferred type — every dot becomes a path-leg separator, letting an attacker traverse from the intended key into sibling and child fields the developer never meant to expose. The result is read access (and, in update statements, write access) to JSON sub-fields outside the intended scope across MySQL, PostgreSQL ->$/->>$, and SQLite. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.28.17.

Streamlink is a CLI utility which pipes video streams from various services into a video player. Prior to 8.4.0, Streamlink's HLS and DASH parsers do not validate the URI scheme of segment entries and other resources. A remote .m3u8 HLS playlist or .mpd DASH manifest can list file:///path/to/file as a segment, and streamlink will read that local file and write its contents to the output stream. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.4.0.

Mattermost Plugins versions <=1.1.5 fail to sanitize filenames received from federated peers before using them to construct export destination paths, which allows an administrator of a remote federated Mattermost server to write files to arbitrary locations within the target server's filestore via a malicious filename delivered through the shared-channel attachment sync protocol. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00659

Taipy 4.1.1, fixed in commit 129fd40, contains a path traversal vulnerability in the ElementLibrary.get_resource() method in taipy/gui/extension/library.py that allows unauthenticated attackers to escape the intended module directory by exploiting an incomplete path containment check using str.startswith() without a trailing path separator. Attackers can send crafted GET requests with path traversal segments targeting a prefix-matching sibling directory on disk, bypassing the directory containment check because Flask's path converter and Werkzeug's WSGI layer preserve the traversal segments while the resolved path still satisfies the flawed startswith comparison, enabling unauthorized file access outside the intended library directory.

Agent Zero before version 1.15 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying crafted paths to the image file serving endpoint, which relies solely on an extension allowlist while the path containment check is explicitly disabled. Attackers can request any file with an image extension readable by the process, including files outside the agent workspace, user home directories, and mounted volumes, and can also leverage symlink-based escapes due to the lack of path canonicalization in the path resolution logic.

go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4, a path validation issue in go-git could allow crafted repository data to affect files outside the intended checkout target, including the repository's .git directory. These validations were introduced in upstream Git years ago, so the vulnerability arose from go-git drifting from those checks. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4.

IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint are affected by a potential arbitrary file read in the asperahttpd component. An authenticated user may be able to take advantage of this vulnerability to access files in the server’s local storage that they should not have access to.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.9.1 could allow remote code execution due to improper validation of symbolic links during archive extraction.

IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Fabrication 1.0.0, 1.0.0.1, 1.0.0.2, 1.0.2, 1.0.2.2, 1.0.2.3, 1.0.2.4, 1.0.2.5, 1.0.2.6, 1.0.2.7 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system
