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.

(dot dot) in a volume name. | |
| CVE-2025-6927 | Low | 0.15 | — | 0.00 | Feb 2, 2026 | Vulnerability in Wikimedia Foundation MediaWiki. This vulnerability is associated with program files includes/specials/pagers/BlockListPager.Php, includes/api/ApiQueryBlocks.Php. This issue affects MediaWiki: from >= 1.42.0 before 1.39.13, 1.42.7 1.43.2, 1.44.0. | |
| CVE-2026-47091 | Low | 0.14 | 3.3 | — | May 18, 2026 | Claude HUD through 0.0.12, patched in commit 234d9aa, contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying an unvalidated transcript_path value via stdin JSON. Attackers can access any file readable by the process and the file metadata is written to a persistent cache file with insufficient permissions, creating a forensic record of accessed paths that survives process exit. | |
| CVE-2026-33529 | Low | 0.14 | 3.3 | 0.00 | Mar 26, 2026 | Zoraxy is a general purpose HTTP reverse proxy and forwarding tool. Prior to version 3.3.2, an authenticated path traversal vulnerability in the configuration import endpoint allows an authenticated user to write arbitrary files outside the config directory, which can lead to RCE by creating a plugin. Version 3.3.2 patches the issue. | |
| CVE-2025-6589 | Low | 0.14 | — | 0.00 | Feb 2, 2026 | Vulnerability in Wikimedia Foundation MediaWiki. This vulnerability is associated with program files includes/specials/pagers/BlockListPager.Php. This issue affects MediaWiki: >= 1.42.0. | |
| CVE-2025-58769 | Low | 0.14 | 3.3 | 0.00 | Oct 1, 2025 | auth0-PHP is an SDK for Auth0 Authentication and Management APIs. In versions 3.3.0 through 8.16.0, the Bulk User Import endpoint in applications built with the SDK does not validate the file-path wrapper or value. Without proper validation, affected applications may accept arbitrary file paths or URLs. The vulnerability affects any application that either directly uses the Auth0-PHP SDK (versions 3.3.0–8.16.0) or indirectly relies on those versions through the Auth0/symfony, Auth0/laravel-auth0, or Auth0/wordpress SDKs. This issue is fixed in version 8.17.0. | |
| CVE-2025-27726 | Low | 0.14 | 2.1 | 0.00 | Mar 28, 2025 | Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal') issue exists in the file download process of the USB storage file-sharing function of HGW-BL1500HM Ver 002.002.003 and earlier. If this vulnerability is exploited, the product's files may be obtained and/or altered by a crafted HTTP request to specific functions of the product from a device connected to the LAN side. | |
| CVE-2024-38358 | Low | 0.12 | 2.9 | 0.00 | Jun 19, 2024 | Wasmer is a web assembly (wasm) Runtime supporting WASIX, WASI and Emscripten. If the preopened directory has a symlink pointing outside, WASI programs can traverse the symlink and access host filesystem if the caller sets both `oflags::creat` and `rights::fd_write`. Programs can also crash the runtime by creating a symlink pointing outside with `path_symlink` and `path_open`ing the link. This issue has been addressed in commit `b9483d022` which has been included in release version 4.3.2. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. | |
| CVE-2025-48370 | Low | 0.11 | — | 0.00 | May 27, 2025 | auth-js is an isomorphic Javascript library for Supabase Auth. Prior to version 2.70.0, the library functions getUserById, deleteUser, updateUserById, listFactors and deleteFactor did not require the user supplied values to be valid UUIDs. This could lead to a URL path traversal, resulting in the wrong API function being called. Implementations that follow security best practice and validate user controlled inputs, such as the userId are not affected by this. This issue has been patched in version 2.70.0. | |
| CVE-2025-44021 | Low | 0.11 | 2.8 | 0.00 | May 8, 2025 | OpenStack Ironic before 29.0.1 can write unintended files to a target node disk during image handling (if a deployment was performed via the API). A malicious project assigned as a node owner can provide a path to any local file (readable by ironic-conductor), which may then be written to the target node disk. This is difficult to exploit in practice, because a node deployed in this manner should never reach the ACTIVE state, but it still represents a danger in environments running with non-default, insecure configurations such as with automated cleaning disabled. The fixed versions are 24.1.3, 26.1.1, and 29.0.1. | |
