Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

In OCaml-tar before 3.4.0, a crafted archive with ../ path segments in its name allows escaping the current working directory. This is not desired behavior, and tar(1) rejects such extractions, but ocaml-tar decompresses it anyway. The impact is that it allows arbitrary file writes outside of the desired extraction directory (to an attacker that can reach a tar decompression endpoint).Show less

A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to create a file or overwrite any file on the filesystem of an affected system. This vulnerability exists because the affected software does not properly validate user-supplied input during a file upload process. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected API endpoint of the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to create or overwrite any file on the underlying operating system. This file could later be used to elevate to root. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials with at least a lower-privileged, single-task user account.Show less

WordPress Plugin HB Audio Gallery Lite 1.0.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to download arbitrary files by manipulating the file_path parameter. Attackers can send requests to the audio-download.php endpoint with directory traversal sequences to access sensitive files like wp-config.php outside the intended gallery directory.Show less

WordPress Simple-Backup 2.7.11 contains multiple vulnerabilities that allow unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files and download sensitive files by manipulating the delete_backup_file and download_backup_file parameters in tools.php. Attackers can exploit insufficient input validation using directory traversal techniques to access wp-config.php, database dumps, and other sensitive files, or delete critical files .htaccess to expose backup directories.Show less

Executing a manipulation can lead to path traversal. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.Show less

A weakness has been identified in Microweber up to 2.0.20. This affects the function userfiles_path of the file /api_nosession/thumbnail_img of the component API Endpoint. Executing a manipulation of the argument cache_path_relative can lead to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.Show less

The Store Locator WordPress plugin before 1.6.9 does not validate a parameter before using it in a file path, allowing high-privileged users such as administrators to read arbitrary `.php` files from the server, including configuration files that contain database credentials and authentication keys.Show less

We have released version 5.24.0 of the Grafana Operator. This patch includes a MEDIUM severity security fix for a path traversal/privilege escalation vulnerability in the Grafana Operator. ### Summary The Grafana Operator supports loading dashboards & library panels using the jsonnet data templating language. The jsonnet expression is evaluated in the context of the operator manager pod. ### Impact It is possible for a malicious user who can create Dashboard or LibraryPanel resources for a Grafana instance to obtain the Kubernetes service account token of the Grafana Operator manager. ### Affected versions All Grafana Operator versions <= 5.23 ### Solutions and mitigations All installations should be upgraded as soon as possible. As a workaround, the following ValidatingAdmissionPolicy prevent the creation or modification of jsonnet based resources: apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1 kind: ValidatingAdmissionPolicy metadata: name: "prevent-jsonnet-dashboards" spec: failurePolicy: Fail matchConstraints: resourceRules: - apiGroups: ["grafana.integreatly.org"] apiVersions: ["v1beta1"] operations: ["CREATE", "UPDATE"] resources: ["grafanadashboards", "grafanalibrarypanels"] validations: - expression: "!has(object.spec.jsonnetLib)" --- apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1 kind: ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding metadata: name: "prevent-jsonnet-dashboards-clusterwide" spec: policyName: "prevent-jsonnet-dashboards" validationActions: [Deny] ### Acknowledgement We would like to thank Artem Cherezov for responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.Show less

The LWS Optimize – All-in-One Speed Booster & Cache Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in versions up to, and including, 3.3.19. This is due to the combine_current_css() function trusting <link rel="stylesheet" href="..."> values harvested from page HTML and converting same-site URLs to absolute filesystem paths before reading them with file_get_contents()/Minify\CSS::add(), without enforcing that the resolved path stay within ABSPATH or have a .css extension. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to read arbitrary files.Show less

Allegra exportReport Directory Traversal Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Allegra. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the exportReport method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-28208.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.4.7 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the memory-wiki ingest feature that allows authenticated Gateway operators with operator.write scope to read local files outside intended ingest sources. Attackers with operator.write access can specify arbitrary local file paths to import file content into wiki memory, bypassing access restrictions.Show less

Nezha Monitoring is a self-hostable, lightweight, servers and websites monitoring and O&M tool. Prior to version 2.0.13, fallbackToFrontend in the dashboard's NoRoute handler treats any URL whose raw string starts with /dashboard as an admin-frontend asset request. The check uses strings.HasPrefix, not a path-segment match, so the input /dashboard../data/config.yaml is accepted; strings.TrimPrefix leaves ../data/config.yaml; and path.Join("admin-dist", "../data/config.yaml") normalizes to data/config.yaml — which os.Stat finds and http.ServeFile returns. No authentication required. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.13.Show less

MISP contains a path traversal vulnerability in OrganisationsController::getOrgLogo. The vulnerable code builds organisation logo file paths using organisation-controlled fields such as id, name, and uuid without ensuring that the resolved file remains inside the intended APP/files/img/orgs/ directory. An attacker able to influence an organisation field, for example the organisation name, could use path traversal sequences to cause MISP to return arbitrary readable .png or .svg files from outside the organisation logo directory. The issue is fixed by resolving candidate paths with realpath() and verifying that they remain under the expected base directory before serving the file.Show less

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to before 2026.4.1, a path traversal vulnerability in Discourse backup handling could allow an authenticated administrator on one site in a multisite deployment to access backup files belonging to another site when backups are stored locally. In affected configurations, an admin on Site A could potentially retrieve sensitive backup data from Site B (same host, multisite) by crafting a backup download request with a traversal payload. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, and 2026.5.0-latest.1.Show less

MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. From versions 10.6.1 to before 10.6.26, 10.11.1 to before 10.11.17, 11.4.1 to before 11.4.11, 11.8.1 to before 11.8.7, and 12.3.1, mbstream did not check for /../ in the path when unpacking the archive. A proper backup can never contain such paths, but a specially crafted archive could have caused mbstream to create files outside of the target-dir path. This issue has been patched in versions 10.6.26, 10.11.17, 11.4.11, 11.8.7, and 12.3.2.Show less

A vulnerability in Kedro version 1.2.0 allows an attacker to exploit path traversal by providing a crafted version string. The `_get_versioned_path()` method in `kedro/io/core.py` directly interpolates user-supplied version strings into filesystem paths without sanitization. This enables an attacker to escape the intended versioned dataset directory and access files outside the expected path. The issue is also reachable through the CLI via the `--load-versions` parameter, as `_split_load_versions()` in `kedro/framework/cli/utils.py` does not validate the version string. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized file reads, data poisoning, cross-project or cross-tenant data access, and broader downstream impacts in environments where Kedro is used with automation or orchestration layers.Show less
