CWE-22
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Description
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

| CVE-2025-54433 | Hig | 0.40 | — | 0.00 | Jul 30, 2025 | Bugsink is a self-hosted error tracking service. In versions 1.4.2 and below, 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, 1.6.0 through 1.6.3, and 1.7.0 through 1.7.3, ingestion paths construct file locations directly from untrusted event_id input without validation. A specially crafted event_id can result in paths outside the intended directory, potentially allowing file overwrite or creation in arbitrary locations. Submitting such input requires access to a valid DSN, potentially exposing them. If Bugsink runs in a container, the effect is confined to the container’s filesystem. In non-containerized setups, the overwrite may affect other parts of the system accessible to that user. This is fixed in versions 1.4.3, 1.5.5, 1.6.4 and 1.7.4. | |
| CVE-2025-53110 | Hig | 0.40 | — | 0.00 | Jul 2, 2025 | Model Context Protocol Servers is a collection of reference implementations for the model context protocol (MCP). Versions of Filesystem prior to 0.6.4 or 2025.7.01 could allow access to unintended files in cases where the prefix matches an allowed directory. Users are advised to upgrade to 0.6.4 or 2025.7.01 resolve. | |
| CVE-2025-40592 | Med | 0.40 | 6.1 | 0.00 | Jun 12, 2025 | A vulnerability has been identified in Mendix Studio Pro 10 (All versions < V10.23.0), Mendix Studio Pro 10.12 (All versions < V10.12.17), Mendix Studio Pro 10.18 (All versions < V10.18.7), Mendix Studio Pro 10.6 (All versions < V10.6.24), Mendix Studio Pro 11 (All versions < V11.0.0), Mendix Studio Pro 8 (All versions < V8.18.35), Mendix Studio Pro 9 (All versions < V9.24.35). A zip path traversal vulnerability exists in the module installation process of Studio Pro. By crafting a malicious module and distributing it via (for example) the Mendix Marketplace, an attacker could write or modify arbitrary files in directories outside a developer’s project directory upon module installation. | |
| CVE-2025-29787 | Hig | 0.40 | — | 0.00 | Mar 17, 2025 | `zip` is a zip library for rust which supports reading and writing of simple ZIP files. In the archive extraction routine of affected versions of the `zip` crate starting with version 1.3.0 and prior to version 2.3.0, symbolic links earlier in the archive are allowed to be used for later files in the archive without validation of the final canonicalized path, allowing maliciously crafted archives to overwrite arbitrary files in the file system when extracted. Users who extract untrusted archive files using the following high-level API method may be affected and critical files on the system may be overwritten with arbitrary file permissions, which can potentially lead to code execution. Version 2.3.0 fixes the issue. | |
| CVE-2025-27101 | Hig | 0.40 | — | 0.00 | Mar 11, 2025 | Opal is OBiBa’s core database application for biobanks or epidemiological studies. Prior to version 5.1.1, when copying any parent directory to a folder in the /temp/ directory, all files in that parent directory are copied, including files which the user should not have access to. All users of the application are impacted, as this is exploitable by any user to reveal all files in the opal filesystem. This also means that low-privilege users such as DataShield users can retrieve the files of other users. Version 5.1.1 contains a patch for the issue. | |
| CVE-2024-6281 | Hig | 0.40 | 7.3 | 0.00 | Jul 20, 2024 | A path traversal vulnerability exists in the `apply_settings` function of parisneo/lollms versions prior to 9.5.1. The `sanitize_path` function does not adequately secure the `discussion_db_name` parameter, allowing attackers to manipulate the path and potentially write to important system folders. | |
| CVE-2024-5821 | Med | 0.40 | 6.2 | 0.00 | Jul 3, 2024 | The vulnerability allows an attacker to access sensitive files on the server by confusing the agent with incorrect file names. When a user requests the content of a file with a misspelled name, the agent attempts to correct the command and inadvertently reveals the content of the intended file, such as /etc/passwd. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information and potential server compromise. | |

| CVE-2026-45224 | Hig | 0.39 | 7.1 | 0.00 | May 11, 2026 | Crabbox before 0.9.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the Islo provider's workspace path resolution that allows attackers to supply absolute or relative paths that resolve outside the intended /workspace directory. Attackers can craft a malicious .crabbox.yaml or crabbox.yaml file with traversal sequences to cause arbitrary file deletion and overwrite when sync.delete is enabled, as the workspace preparation logic executes rm -rf and mkdir -p operations on the resolved path without proper validation. | |
| CVE-2026-41894 | Hig | 0.39 | — | 0.00 | Apr 24, 2026 | SiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.6.5, the fix for CVE-2026-30869 only added a denylist check (IsSensitivePath) but did not address the root cause — a redundant url.PathUnescape() call in serveExport(). An authenticated attacker can use double URL encoding (%252e%252e) to traverse directories and read arbitrary workspace files including the full SQLite database (siyuan.db), kernel log, and all user documents. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.6.5. | |
| CVE-2026-39973 | Hig | 0.39 | 7.1 | 0.00 | Apr 21, 2026 | Apktool is a tool for reverse engineering Android APK files. In versions 3.0.0 and 3.0.1, a path traversal vulnerability in `brut/androlib/res/decoder/ResFileDecoder.java` allows a maliciously crafted APK to write arbitrary files to the filesystem during standard decoding (`apktool d`). This is a security regression introduced in commit e10a045 (PR #4041, December 12, 2025), which removed the `BrutIO.sanitizePath()` call that previously prevented path traversal in resource file output paths. An attacker can embed `../` sequences in the `resources.arsc` Type String Pool to escape the output directory and write files to arbitrary locations, including `~/.ssh/config`, `~/.bashrc`, or Windows Startup folders, escalating to RCE. The fix in version 3.0.2 re-introduces `BrutIO.sanitizePath()` in `ResFileDecoder.java` before file write operations. | |

Prior to version 2.2.2, @tinacms/graphql uses string-based path containment checks in FilesystemBridge. That blocks plain ../ traversal, but it does not resolve symlink or junction targets. If a symlink/junction already exists under the allowed content root, a path like content/posts/pivot/owned.md is still considered "inside" the base even though the real filesystem target can be outside it. As a result, FilesystemBridge.get(), put(), delete(), and glob() can operate on files outside the intended root. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.2. | |
| CVE-2026-34603 | Hig | 0.39 | 7.1 | 0.00 | Apr 1, 2026 | Tina is a headless content management system. Prior to version 2.2.2, @tinacms/cli recently added lexical path-traversal checks to the dev media routes, but the implementation still validates only the path string and does not resolve symlink or junction targets. If a link already exists under the media root, Tina accepts a path like pivot/written-from-media.txt as "inside" the media directory and then performs real filesystem operations through that link target. This allows out-of-root media listing and write access, and the same root cause also affects delete. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.2. |
