CWE-22

In the Convention plugin in Apache Struts 2.3.x before 2.3.31, and 2.5.x before 2.5.5, it is possible to prepare a special URL which will be used for path traversal and execution of arbitrary code on server side.

Contao before 3.5.28 and 4.x before 4.4.1 allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files via a crafted parameter in a URL, aka Directory Traversal.

Winmail Server 6.1 allows remote code execution by authenticated users who leverage directory traversal in a netdisk.php move_folder_file call to move a .php file from the FTP folder into a web folder.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the web interface on the D-Link DWR-116 device with firmware before V1.05b09 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a "GET /uir/" request.

Splunk Hadoop Connect App has a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code, aka ERP-2041.

Easy File Sharing FTP Server version 3.6 is vulnerable to a directory traversal vulnerability which allows an attacker to list and download any file from any folder outside the FTP root Directory.

The Zip::File component in the rubyzip gem before 1.2.1 for Ruby has a directory traversal vulnerability. If a site allows uploading of .zip files, an attacker can upload a malicious file that uses "../" pathname substrings to write arbitrary files to the filesystem.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the import users feature in Micro Focus Novell Service Desk before 7.2 allows remote authenticated administrators to upload and execute arbitrary JSP files via a .. (dot dot) in a filename within a multipart/form-data POST request to a LiveTime.woa URL.

Directory traversal vulnerability in libtransmission/metainfo.c in Transmission 1.22, 1.34, 1.75, and 1.76 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a pathname within a .torrent file.

Note Mark is an open-source note-taking application. From 0.13.0 to before 0.19.4, the Note Mark application allows authenticated users to upload assets to notes via POST /api/notes/{noteID}/assets, where the asset filename is provided through the X-Name HTTP request header. This value is stored directly in the database without any sanitization or validation - no path separator filtering, no directory traversal sequence rejection, and no use of filepath.Base() to strip directory components. The unsanitized name is persisted as-is in the note_assets table (Name column, varchar(80)). When an administrator subsequently runs the data export CLI commands (note-mark migrate export-v1 or note-mark migrate export), the stored asset name is passed directly into filepath.Join() and path.Join() calls as part of the output file path argument to os.Create(). Since Go's filepath.Join() resolves ../ sequences during path normalization, an attacker-controlled asset name containing directory traversal sequences causes the export process to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem, completely outside the intended export directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.19.4.

18next-http-middleware is a middleware to be used with Node.js web frameworks like express or Fastify and also for Deno. Versions prior to 3.9.3 allow an unauthenticated HTTP client to pollute Object.prototype in the Node.js process hosting the middleware, via two unvalidated entry points that reach internal object-key writes: getResourcesHandler and missingKeyHandler. This can break authorisation checks (if (user.isAdmin) returning true for any user), cause type-confusion DoS, and depending on downstream code it can be chained into RCE.

ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier are affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive files and directories outside the intended access scope. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

A path traversal vulnerability in the Fireware OS Web UI on WatchGuard Firebox systems may allow a privileged authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of an elevated system process.This issue affects Fireware OS 12.6.1 up to and including 12.11.8 and 2025.1 up to and including 2026.1.2.

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. In versions on the 4.x branch prior to 4.0.17.2950, an unauthenticated remote attacker can potentially read any file readable by the Sonarr process. These include application configuration files (containing API keys and database credentials), Windows system files, and any user-accessible files on the same drive This issue only impacts Windows systems; macOS and Linux are unaffected. Files returned from the API were not limited to the directory on disk they were intended to be served from. This problem has been patched in 4.0.17.2950 in the nightly/develop branch or 4.0.17.2952 for stable/main releases. It's possible to work around the issue by only hosting Sonarr on a secure internal network and accessing it via VPN, Tailscale or similar solution outside that network.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in vanquish WooCommerce Support Ticket System woocommerce-support-ticket-system allows Path Traversal.This issue affects WooCommerce Support Ticket System: from n/a through < 18.5.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Whitebox-Studio Scape scape allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Scape: from n/a through < 1.5.16.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in TeamJCD JoyConDroid (app/src/main/java/com/rdapps/gamepad/util modules). This vulnerability is associated with program files UnzipUtil.Java‎. This issue affects JoyConDroid: through 1.0.93.

Allure 2 is the version 2.x branch of Allure Report, a multi-language test reporting tool. The Allure report generator prior to version 2.38.0 is vulnerable to an arbitrary file read via path traversal when processing test results. An attacker can craft a malicious result file (-result.json, -container.json, or .plist) that points an attachment source to a sensitive file on the host system. During report generation, Allure will resolve these paths and include the sensitive files in the final report. Version 2.38.0 fixes the issue.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in wpWax FormGent formgent allows Path Traversal.This issue affects FormGent: from n/a through <= 1.7.0.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in vanquish Upload Files Anywhere wp-upload-files-anywhere allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Upload Files Anywhere: from n/a through <= 2.8.
