CWE-22

4ga Boards is a boards system for realtime project management. Prior to 3.3.5, a path traversal vulnerability allows an authenticated user with board import privileges to make the server ingest arbitrary host files as board attachments during BOARDS archive import. Once imported, the file can be downloaded through the normal application interface, resulting in unauthorized local file disclosure. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.3.5.

Mako is a template library written in Python. Prior to 1.3.11, TemplateLookup.get_template() is vulnerable to path traversal when a URI starts with // (e.g., //../../../secret.txt). The root cause is an inconsistency between two slash-stripping implementations. Any file readable by the process can be returned as rendered template content when an application passes untrusted input directly to TemplateLookup.get_template(). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.11.

The LabOne Web Server, backing the LabOne User Interface, contains insufficient input validation in its file access functionality. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the host system that are accessible to the operating system user running the LabOne software. Additionally, the Web Server does not sufficiently restrict cross-origin requests, which could allow a remote attacker to trigger file access from a victim's browser by directing the victim to a malicious website. The vulnerability is only exploitable when the LabOne Web Server is running. Installations using only the LabOne APIs without starting the Web Server are not exposed.

A path Traversal vulnerability exists in Ziostation2 v2.9.8.7 and earlier. A remote unauthenticated attacker may get sensitive information on the operating system.

The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal leading to Arbitrary File Read in versions up to and including 1.3.9.6. This is due to the plugin using client-supplied mfile[] POST values as the source of truth for email attachment selection without performing any server-side upload provenance check, path canonicalization, or directory containment boundary enforcement. In dnd_wpcf7_posted_data(), each user-submitted filename is directly appended to the plugin's upload URL without sanitization. In dnd_cf7_mail_components(), the URL is converted back to a filesystem path using str_replace() and only file_exists() is used as the acceptance check before attaching the file to the outgoing CF7 email. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read and exfiltrate arbitrary files readable by the web server process via path traversal sequences in the mfile[] parameter, with files being disclosed as email attachments. Note: This vulnerability is limited to the 'wp-content' folder due to the wpcf7_is_file_path_in_content_dir() function in the Contact Form 7 plugin.

The Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read via the Repeater JSON/CSV URL parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.0.6. This is due to insufficient path traversal sanitization in the URLtoRelative() and urlToPath() functions, combined with the ability to enable debug output in widget settings. The URLtoRelative() function only performs a simple string replacement to remove the site's base URL without sanitizing path traversal sequences (../), and the cleanPath() function only normalizes directory separators without removing traversal components. This allows an attacker to provide a URL like http://site.com/../../../../etc/passwd which, after URLtoRelative() strips the domain, results in /../../../../etc/passwd being concatenated with the base path and ultimately resolved to /etc/passwd. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to read arbitrary local files from the WordPress host, including sensitive files such as wp-config.

An issue in the file handling logic of the component download.php of SAC-NFe v2.0.02 allows attackers to execute a directory traversal and read arbitrary files from the system via a crafted GET request.

Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. From 4.0.0 to 4.1.3, a specially crafted Helm plugin, when installed or updated, will cause Helm to write the contents of the plugin to an arbitrary filesystem location. To prevent this, validate that the plugin.yaml of the Helm plugin does not include a version: field containing POSIX dot-dot path separators ie. "/../". This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1.4.

Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. Prior to 1.16.4, the caching for ld.so removes outdated cache files without properly checking that the app controlled path to the outdated cache is in the cache directory. This allows Flatpak apps to delete arbitrary files on the host. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.4.

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, objects/aVideoEncoderReceiveImage.json.php allowed an authenticated uploader to fetch attacker-controlled same-origin /videos/... URLs, bypass traversal scrubbing, and expose server-local files through the GIF poster storage path. The vulnerable GIF branch could be abused to read local files such as /etc/passwd or application source files and republish those bytes through a normal public GIF media URL.

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.113, _validate_path() calls os.path.normpath() first, which collapses .. sequences, then checks for '..' in normalized. Since .. is already collapsed, the check always passes. This makes the check completely useless and allows trivial path traversal to any file on the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.113.

File Browser is a file managing interface for uploading, deleting, previewing, renaming, and editing files within a specified directory. Prior to 2.63.1, the Matches() function in rules/rules.go uses strings.HasPrefix() without a trailing directory separator when matching paths against access rules. A rule for /uploads also matches /uploads_backup/, granting or denying access to unintended directories. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.63.1.

text-generation-webui is an open-source web interface for running Large Language Models. Prior to 4.3, an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in load_grammar() allows reading any file on the server filesystem with no extension restriction. Gradio does not server-side validate dropdown values, so an attacker can POST directory traversal payloads (e.g., ../../../etc/passwd) via the API and receive the full file contents in the response. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.3.

A directory traversal vulnerability in the agentic-context-engine project versions up to 0.7.1 allows arbitrary file writes via the checkpoint_dir parameter in OfflineACE.run. The save_to_file method in ace/skillbook.py fails to normalize or validate filesystem paths, allowing traversal sequences to escape the intended checkpoint directory. This vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files accessible to the application process, potentially leading to application corruption, privilege escalation, or code execution depending on the deployment context.

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. Prior to version 0.28.1, insufficient validation of Git URL fragment subdir components may allow access to files outside the checked-out Git repository root. Possible access is limited to files on the same mounted filesystem. The issue has been fixed in version v0.28.1 The issue affects only builds that use Git URLs with a subpath component. As a workaround, avoid building Dockerfiles from untrusted sources or using the subdir component from an untrusted Git repository where the subdir component could point to a symlink.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the awesome-llm-apps project in commit e46690f99c3f08be80a9877fab52acacf7ab8251 (2026-01-19) in the Beifong AI News and Podcast Agent backend in FastAPI backend, stream-audio endpoint, in file routers/podcast_router.py, in function stream_audio. The stream-audio endpoint accepts a user-controlled path parameter that is concatenated into a filesystem path without proper validation or restriction. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem, potentially disclosing sensitive information such as configuration files and credentials.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in flexcubed PitchPrint pitchprint allows Path Traversal.This issue affects PitchPrint: from n/a through <= 11.1.2.

There is an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the test connection function of backend database management in wgcloud v3.6.3 and before, which can be used to read any file on the victim's server.

Doom Launcher 3.8.1.0 is vulnerable to Directory Traversal due to missing file path validation during the extraction of game files

Voltronic Power SNMP Web Pro version 1.1 contains a pre-authentication path traversal vulnerability in the upload.cgi endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the device filesystem by supplying directory traversal sequences in the params parameter. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to disclose sensitive files such as password hashes, which can be cracked offline to obtain root-level access and enable full system compromise.
