CWE-22

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 result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to access unauthorized files or directories outside the intended restrictions. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a path traversal vulnerability in sandbox enforcement allowing sandboxed agents to read arbitrary files from other agents' workspaces via unnormalized mediaUrl or fileUrl parameter keys. Attackers can exploit incomplete parameter validation in normalizeSandboxMediaParams and missing mediaLocalRoots context to access sensitive files including API keys and configuration data outside designated sandbox roots.

AGiXT is a dynamic AI Agent Automation Platform. Prior to 1.9.2, the safe_join() function in the essential_abilities extension fails to validate that resolved file paths remain within the designated agent workspace. An authenticated attacker can use directory traversal sequences to read, write, or delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the AGiXT instance. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.2.

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to version 3.33.4, the plugin file upload endpoint (POST /api/plugin/upload) passes the user-supplied filename directly to createTempFolder() without sanitizing path traversal sequences. An attacker with Global Builder privileges can craft a multipart upload with a filename containing ../ to delete arbitrary directories via rmSync and write arbitrary files via tarball extraction to any filesystem path the Node.js process can access. This issue has been patched in version 3.33.4.

Directory Traversal vulnerability in the extractFile method of org.codehaus.plexus.util.Expand in plexus-utils before 6d780b3378829318ba5c2d29547e0012d5b29642. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in designingmedia Energox energox allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Energox: from n/a through <= 1.2.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in designingmedia Instant VA instantva allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Instant VA: from n/a through <= 1.0.1.

Path Traversal in Clasp impacting versions < 3.2.0 allows a remote attacker to perform remote code execution via a malicious Google Apps Script project containing specially crafted filenames with directory traversal sequences.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in gleam-wisp wisp allows arbitrary file read via percent-encoded path traversal. The wisp.serve_static function is vulnerable to path traversal because sanitization runs before percent-decoding. The encoded sequence %2e%2e passes through string.replace unchanged, then uri.percent_decode converts it to .., which the OS resolves as directory traversal when the file is read. An unauthenticated attacker can read any file readable by the application process in a single HTTP request, including application source code, configuration files, secrets, and system files. This issue affects wisp: from 2.1.1 before 2.2.1.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in vanquish User Extra Fields wp-user-extra-fields allows Path Traversal.This issue affects User Extra Fields: from n/a through <= 17.0.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Murtaza Bhurgri Woo File Dropzone woo-file-dropzone allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Woo File Dropzone: from n/a through <= 1.1.7.

EduSoho versions prior to 22.4.7 contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the classroom-course-statistics export functionality. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can supply crafted path traversal sequences in the fileNames[] parameter to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem, including application configuration files such as config/parameters.yml that may contain secrets and database credentials. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2026-01-19 (UTC).

Streama versions 1.10.0 through 1.10.5 and prior to commit b7c8767 contain a combination of path traversal and server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities in that allow an authenticated attacker to write arbitrary files to the server filesystem. The issue exists in the subtitle download functionality, where user-controlled parameters are used to fetch remote content and construct file paths without proper validation. By supplying a crafted subtitle download URL and a path traversal sequence in the file name, an attacker can write files to arbitrary locations on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in WP Chill Filr filr-protection allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Filr: from n/a through <= 1.2.10.

Model Context Protocol Servers is a collection of reference implementations for the model context protocol (MCP). In mcp-server-git versions prior to 2025.9.25, the git_init tool accepted arbitrary filesystem paths and created Git repositories without validating the target location. Unlike other tools which required an existing repository, git_init could operate on any directory accessible to the server process, making those directories eligible for subsequent git operations. The tool was removed entirely, as the server is intended to operate on existing repositories only. Users are advised to upgrade to 2025.9.25 or newer to remediate this issue.

Dosage is a comic strip downloader and archiver. When downloading comic images in versions 3.1 and below, Dosage constructs target file names from different aspects of the remote comic (page URL, image URL, page content, etc.). While the basename is properly stripped of directory-traversing characters, the file extension is taken from the HTTP Content-Type header. This allows a remote attacker (or a Man-in-the-Middle, if the comic is served over HTTP) to write arbitrary files outside the target directory (if additional conditions are met). This issue is fixed in version 3.2.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in ypromo PT Luxa Addons pt-luxa-addons allows Path Traversal.This issue affects PT Luxa Addons: from n/a through <= 1.2.2.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in AmentoTech Workreap (theme's plugin) workreap allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Workreap (theme's plugin): from n/a through <= 3.3.5.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in AmentoTech Taskbot taskbot allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Taskbot: from n/a through <= 6.4.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in SeaTheme BM Content Builder bm-builder allows Path Traversal.This issue affects BM Content Builder: from n/a through < 3.16.3.3.
