Attackers can paste a large buffer of characters into the Folder Path field and trigger the comparison function to cause the application to become unresponsive or crash. | |
| CVE-2025-32802 | Med | 0.40 | 6.1 | 0.00 | May 28, 2025 | Kea configuration and API directives can be used to overwrite arbitrary files, subject to permissions granted to Kea. Many common configurations run Kea as root, leave the API entry points unsecured by default, and/or place the control sockets in insecure paths. This issue affects Kea versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.1, 2.6.0 through 2.6.2, and 2.7.0 through 2.7.8. | |
| CVE-2024-37295 | Hig | 0.40 | 7.2 | 0.00 | Jun 11, 2024 | Aimeos is an Open Source e-commerce framework for online shops. Starting in version 2024.01.1 and prior to version 2024.04.5, a user with administrative privileges can upload files that look like images but contain PHP code which can then be executed in the context of the web server. Version 2024.04.5 fixes the issue. | |
| CVE-2026-42597 | Med | 0.38 | 5.9 | 0.00 | May 14, 2026 | Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.32.0, the /forms/chromium/convert/url and /forms/chromium/screenshot/url routes accept url=file:///tmp/... from anonymous callers. The default Chromium deny-list intentionally exempts file:///tmp/ so HTML/Markdown routes can load their own request-local assets, and those routes apply a per-request AllowedFilePrefixes guard to scope the read. The URL routes never set AllowedFilePrefixes, so the scope guard silently skips. Alice enumerates /tmp/, walks Gotenberg's per-request working directories, and reads the raw source files of other in-flight conversions as rendered PDF output. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.32.0. | |
| CVE-2025-64714 | Med | 0.38 | 5.8 | 0.00 | Nov 13, 2025 | PrivateBin is an online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Starting in version 1.7.7 and prior to version 2.0.3, an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion exists in the template-switching feature. If `templateselection` is enabled in the configuration, the server trusts the `template` cookie and includes the referenced PHP file. An attacker can read sensitive data or, if they manage to drop a PHP file elsewhere, gain remote code execution. The constructed path of the template file is checked for existence, then included. For PrivateBin project files this does not leak any secrets due to data files being created with PHP code that prevents execution, but if a configuration file without that line got created or the visitor figures out the relative path to a PHP script that directly performs an action without appropriate privilege checking, those might execute or leak information. The issue has been patched in version 2.0.3. As a workaround, set `templateselection = false` (which is the default) in `cfg/conf.php` or remove it entirely | |
| CVE-2025-4602 | Med | 0.38 | 5.9 | 0.00 | May 24, 2025 | The eMagicOne Store Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Reads in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.5 via the get_file() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. This is only exploitable by unauthenticated attackers in default configurations where the the default password is left as 1:1, or where the attacker gains access to the credentials. | |
| CVE-2025-29930 | Med | 0.38 | — | 0.00 | Mar 18, 2025 | imFAQ is an advanced questions and answers management system for ImpressCMS. Prior to 1.0.1, if the $_GET['seoOp'] parameter is manipulated to include malicious input (e.g., seoOp=php://filter/read=convert.base64-encode/resource=/var/www/html/config.php), the application could allow an attacker to read sensitive files on the server (Local File Inclusion, LFI). The $_GET['seoOp'] and $_GET['seoArg'] parameters are directly used without sanitization or validation. This is partly mitigated by the fact that the ImpressCMS sensitive files are stored outside the web root, in a folder with a randomized name. The issue has been resolved in imFaq 1.0.1. | |
| CVE-2025-1686 | Med | 0.37 | 6.8 | 0.00 | Feb 27, 2025 | Versions of the package io.pebbletemplates:pebble from 0 and before 4.1.0 are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via the include tag. A high privileged attacker can access sensitive local files by crafting malicious notification templates that leverage this tag to include files like /etc/passwd or /proc/1/environ. Workaround This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the include macro in Pebble Templates: java new PebbleEngine.Builder() .registerExtensionCustomizer(new DisallowExtensionCustomizerBuilder() .disallowedTokenParserTags(List.of("include")) .build()) .build(); | |
| CVE-2026-41177 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Apr 22, 2026 | Squidex is an open source headless content management system and content management hub. Prior to version 7.23.0, the Squidex Restore API is vulnerable to Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The application fails to validate the URI scheme of the user-supplied `Url` parameter, allowing the use of the `file://` protocol. This allows an authenticated administrator to force the backend server to interact with the local filesystem, which can lead to Local File Interaction (LFI) and potential disclosure of sensitive system information through side-channel analysis of internal logs. Version 7.23.0 contains a fix. | |
| CVE-2025-0202 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Jan 4, 2025 | A vulnerability was found in TCS BaNCS 10. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part of the file /REPORTS/REPORTS_SHOW_FILE.jsp. The manipulation of the argument FilePath leads to file inclusion. The real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment. | |
| CVE-2024-25975 | Med | 0.35 | 6.5 | 0.00 | May 29, 2024 | The application implements an up- and downvote function which alters a value within a JSON file. The POST parameters are not filtered properly and therefore an arbitrary file can be overwritten. The file can be controlled by an authenticated attacker, the content cannot be controlled. It is possible to overwrite all files for which the webserver has write access. It is required to supply a relative path (path traversal). | |
| CVE-2026-42593 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | May 14, 2026 | Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.32.0, pdfengines/merge, pdfengines/split, libreoffice/convert, chromium/convert/url, chromium/convert/html, and chromium/convert/markdown accept stampSource=pdf + stampExpression=/path and watermarkSource=pdf + watermarkExpression=/path from anonymous callers. The dedicated stamp/watermark routes require an uploaded file when the source type is image or pdf; these six routes only overwrite the expression when a file is uploaded, leaving the user-controlled path intact when no file is attached. pdfcpu opens the path and composites its pages onto the output PDF, which returns to the caller. An attacker reads any PDF the Gotenberg process can access on the container filesystem. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.32.0. | |
| CVE-2025-11738 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | Oct 18, 2025 | The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to limited file reading in all versions up to, and including, 3.29 via the mla-stream-image.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary ai/eps/pdf/ps files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. | |
| CVE-2026-0259 | Med | 0.33 | — | 0.00 | May 13, 2026 | An arbitrary File Read and Delete Vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks WildFire® WF-500 and WF-500-B appliances enables users to read sensitive information and delete arbitrary files. This vulnerability affects WF-500 and WF-500-B appliances running in the default non-FIPS configuration mode. The WildFire Appliance (WF-500, WF-500-B) software update is now available to customers that use the WildFire Appliance (WF-500, WF-500-B) for on-premise sandboxing. Please note that customers using the WildFire Public cloud service are NOT impacted by this vulnerability. | |
| CVE-2026-26228 | Med | 0.32 | 4.9 | 0.00 | Feb 26, 2026 | VideoLAN VLC for Android prior to version 3.7.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the Remote Access Server routing for the authenticated endpoint GET /download. The file query parameter is concatenated into a filesystem path under the configured download directory without canonicalization or directory containment checks, allowing an authenticated attacker with network reachability to the Remote Access Server to request files outside the intended directory. The impact is bounded by the Android application sandbox and storage restrictions, typically limiting exposure to app-internal and app-specific external storage. | |
| CVE-2025-11973 | Med | 0.32 | 4.9 | 0.00 | Nov 21, 2025 | The 简数采集器 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3 via the __kds_flag functionality that imports featured images. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Adminstrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. | |
| CVE-2023-5816 | Med | 0.32 | 4.9 | 0.01 | Oct 30, 2024 | The Code Explorer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary external file reading in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This is due to the fact that the plugin does not restrict accessing files to those outside of the WordPress instance, though the intention of the plugin is to only access WordPress related files. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to read files outside of the WordPress instance. |
