The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.16. This is due to a missing file name/path validation against path traversal sequences. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server by embedding a crafted path traversal string in a forum post body and then deleting the post.

A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in qdPM 9.1 and earlier. An attacker can upload a malicious PHP code file via the profile photo functionality, by leveraging a path traversal vulnerability in the users['photop_preview'] delete photo feature, allowing bypass of .htaccess protection. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-3884.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the Administration interface in Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS) before 7.0(1) SR2 in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (aka CCX) server allows remote authenticated users to read, modify, or delete arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the bitrix.mpbuilder module before 1.0.12 for Bitrix allows remote administrators to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the element name of the "work" array parameter to admin/bitrix.mpbuilder_step2.php.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Kaseya Virtual System Administrator (VSA) 7.0.0.0 before 7.0.0.33, 8..0.0.0 before 8.0.0.23, 9.0.0.0 before 9.0.0.19, and 9.1.0.0 before 9.1.0.9 allows remote authenticated users to write to and execute arbitrary files due to insufficient restrictions in file paths to json.ashx.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Cisco Application Networking Manager (ANM) before 2.0 and Application Control Engine (ACE) Device Manager before A3(2.1) allows remote authenticated users to read or modify arbitrary files via unspecified vectors, related to "invalid directory permissions."

Directory traversal vulnerability in the OBEX FTP Service in the Microsoft Bluetooth stack in Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and probably Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC and 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition, allows remote authenticated users to list arbitrary directories, and create or read arbitrary files, via a .. (dot dot) in a pathname. NOTE: this can be leveraged for code execution by writing to a Startup folder.

The WP Customer Area plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read and deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'ajax_attach_file' function in all versions up to, and including, 8.3.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with a role that an administrator grants access to (e.g., Subscriber) to to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information, or delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).

Jupyter Server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. In versions 2.17.0 and earlier, a path traversal vulnerability in the REST API allows an authenticated user to escape the configured root_dir and access sibling directories whose names begin with the same prefix as the root_dir. For example, with a root_dir named "test", the API permits access to a sibling directory named "testtest" through a crafted request to the /api/contents endpoint using encoded path components. An attacker can read, write, and delete files in affected sibling directories. Multi-tenant deployments using predictable naming schemes are particularly at risk, as a user with a directory named "user1" could access directories for user10 through user19 and beyond. A user who can choose a single-character folder name could gain access to a significant number of sibling directories. Version 2.18.0 contains a fix. As a workaround, ensure folder names do not share a common prefix with any sibling directory.

The ugw-logread method allows a remote attacker with user privileges to access arbitrary local files due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the FTP server in Serv-U 7.0.0.1 through 7.3, including 7.2.0.1, allows remote authenticated users to overwrite or create arbitrary files via a ..\ (dot dot backslash) in the RNTO command.

Directory traversal vulnerability in OpenBase 10.0.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to create files with arbitrary contents via a .. (dot dot) in the first argument to the GlobalLog stored procedure. NOTE: this can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code using CVE-2007-5926.

Cockpit CMS contains a path traversal vulnerability in the Bucket file storage API (/system/buckets/api). The api() method in modules/System/Controller/Buckets.php sanitizes the bucket name with preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9-_\\.]/','', $bucket), which permits '..' and '../' sequences. The sanitized value is interpolated into a Flysystem path as uploads://buckets/{bucket}. Flysystem's WhitespacePathNormalizer resolves 'buckets/..' to the empty string (the uploads storage root) without raising PathTraversalDetected because the '..' has a preceding component to consume. An authenticated low-privileged user can send a crafted request with a '../' bucket name to list, upload, and delete files across all buckets, including those belonging to other users or roles

The Car Dealer Automotive WordPress Theme – Responsive theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_post_photo() and add_car() functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The add_car() function may also make it possible to read arbitrary files.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the LibraryFileUploadServlet servlet in Lexmark Markvision Enterprise allows remote authenticated users to write to and execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a file path in a ZIP archive.

A vulnerability was found in OpenClinica Community Edition up to 3.12.2/3.13. This affects an unknown part of the file /ImportCRFData?action=confirm of the component CRF Data Import. Performing manipulation of the argument xml_file results in path traversal. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Sharp is a content management framework built for Laravel as a package. Versions prior to 9.20.0 have a path traversal vulnerability in the FileUtil class. The application fails to sanitize file extensions properly, allowing path separators to be passed into the storage layer. In `src/Utils/FileUtil.php`, the `FileUtil::explodeExtension()` function extracts a file's extension by splitting the filename at the last dot. This issue has been patched in version 9.20.0 by properly sanitizing the extension using `pathinfo(PATHINFO_EXTENSION)` instead of `strrpos()`, alongside applying strict regex replacements to both the base name and the extension.

Indico is an event management system that uses Flask-Multipass, a multi-backend authentication system for Flask. In versions prior to 3.3.12, due to vulnerabilities in TeXLive and obscure LaTeX syntax that allowed circumventing Indico's LaTeX sanitizer, it is possible to use specially-crafted LaTeX snippets which can read local files or execute code with the privileges of the user running Indico on the server. Note that if server-side LaTeX rendering is not in use (ie `XELATEX_PATH` was not set in `indico.conf`), this vulnerability does not apply. It is recommended to update to Indico 3.3.12 as soon as possible. It is also strongly recommended to enable the containerized LaTeX renderer (using `podman`), which isolates it from the rest of the system. As a workaround, remove the `XELATEX_PATH` setting from `indico.conf` (or comment it out or set it to `None`) and restart the `indico-uwsgi` and `indico-celery` services to disable LaTeX functionality.

The Advanced Members for ACF plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the create_crop function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The vulnerability was partially patched in version 1.2.5.

Jenkins 2.554 and earlier, LTS 2.541.2 and earlier does not safely handle symbolic links during the extraction of .tar and .tar.gz archives, allowing crafted archives to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem, restricted only by file system access permissions of the user running Jenkins. This can be exploited to deploy malicious scripts or plugins on the controller by attackers with Item/Configure permission, or able to control agent processes.

SAP NetWeaver (Knowledge Management), versions (KMC-CM - 7.00, 7.01, 7.02, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, 7.50 and KMC-WPC 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, 7.50), does not sufficiently validate path information provided by users, thus characters representing traverse to parent directory are passed through to the file APIs, allowing the attacker to overwrite, delete, or corrupt arbitrary files on the remote server, leading to Path Traversal.

A directory traversal vulnerability in HPE BSM Platform Application Performance Management System Health product versions 9.26, 9.30 and 9.40, allows users to upload unrestricted files.

Allegra isZipEntryValide Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Allegra. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the isZipEntryValide method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of LOCAL SERVICE. Was ZDI-CAN-25730.

Dataease is an open source data visualization analysis tool. Prior to 2.10.20, By controlling the IniFile parameter, an attacker can force the JDBC driver to load an attacker-controlled configuration file. This configuration file can inject dangerous JDBC properties, leading to remote code execution. The Redshift JDBC driver execution flow reaches a method named getJdbcIniFile. The getJdbcIniFile method implements an aggressive automatic configuration file discovery mechanism. If not explicitly restricted, it searches for a file named rsjdbc.ini. In a JDBC URL context, users can explicitly specify the configuration file via URL parameters, which allows arbitrary files on the server to be loaded as JDBC configuration files. Within the Redshift JDBC driver properties, the parameter IniFile is explicitly supported and used to load an external configuration file. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.20.

Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. Prior to versions 23.0.3 and 22.0.4, anyone with read/write access to the backup storage location (e.g. an S3 bucket) can manipulate backup manifest files so that files in the manifest — which may be files that they have also added to the manifest and backup contents — are written to any accessible location on restore. This is a common path traversal security issue. This can be used to provide that attacker with unintended/unauthorized access to the production deployment environment — allowing them to access information available in that environment as well as run any additional arbitrary commands there. Versions 23.0.3 and 22.0.4 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the Import/Export function in the Portal Site Manager in Apache Jetspeed before 2.3.1 allows remote authenticated administrators to write to arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via a .. (dot dot) in a ZIP archive entry, as demonstrated by "../../webapps/x.jsp."

OpenSift is an AI study tool that sifts through large datasets using semantic search and generative AI. Prior to version 1.6.3-alpha, multiple storage helpers used path construction patterns that did not uniformly enforce base-directory containment. This created path-injection risk in file read/write/delete flows if malicious path-like values were introduced. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.3-alpha.

Arbitrary file upload to web root in the IDAttend’s IDWeb application 3.1.013 allows authenticated attackers to upload dangerous files to web root such as ASP or ASPX, gaining command execution on the affected server.

LORIS (Longitudinal Online Research and Imaging System) is a self-hosted web application that provides data- and project-management for neuroimaging research. Prior to versions 26.0.5, 27.0.2, and 28.0.0, an authenticated user with sufficient privileges can exploit a path traversal vulnerability to upload a malicious file to an arbitrary location on the server. Once uploaded, the file can be used to achieve remote code execution (RCE). An attacker must be authenticated and have the appropriate permissions to exploit this issue. If the server is configured as read-only, remote code execution (RCE) is not possible; however, the malicious file upload may still be achievable. This problem is fixed in LORIS v26.0.5 and above, v27.0.2 and above, and v28.0.0 and above. As a workaround, LORIS administrators can disable the media module if it is not being used.

The Player Leaderboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2 via the 'player_leaderboard' shortcode. This is due to the plugin using an unsanitized user-supplied value from the shortcode's 'mode' attribute in a call to include() without proper path validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve full remote code execution if combined with file upload capabilities.

Erugo is a self-hosted file-sharing platform. In versions up to and including 0.2.14, an authenticated low-privileged user can upload arbitrary files to any specified location due to insufficient validation of user‑supplied paths when creating shares. By specifying a writable path within the public web root, an attacker can upload and execute arbitrary code on the server, resulting in remote code execution (RCE). This vulnerability allows a low-privileged user to fully compromise the affected Erugo instance. Version 0.2.15 fixes the issue.

OpenList Frontend is a UI component for OpenList. Prior to 4.1.10, the application contains path traversal vulnerability in multiple file operation handlers in server/handles/fsmanage.go. Filename components in req.Names are directly concatenated with validated directories using stdpath.Join. This allows ".." sequences to bypass path restrictions, enabling users to access other users' files within the same storage mount and perform unauthorized actions such as deletion, renaming, or copying of files. An authenticated attacker can bypass directory-level authorisation by injecting traversal sequences into filename components, enabling unauthorised file removal and copying across user boundaries within the same storage mount. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1.10.

The Include Me WordPress plugin through 1.2.1 is vulnerable to path traversal / local file inclusion, which can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) of the system due to log poisoning and therefore potentially a full compromise of the underlying structure

A weakness has been identified in harry0703 MoneyPrinterTurbo up to 1.2.6. The impacted element is the function upload_music of the file app/controllers/v1/music.py of the component API Endpoint. Executing a manipulation of the argument File can lead to path traversal. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

The XStore theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 9.5.4 via theet_ajax_required_plugins_popup() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname 'Path Traversal') vulnerability in Algosec Firewall Analyzer on Linux, 64 bit allows an authenticated user to upload files to a restricted directory leading to code injection. This issue affects Algosec Firewall Analyzer: A33.0 (up to build 320), A33.10 (up to build 210).

The WP Maps – Store Locator,Google Maps,OpenStreetMap,Mapbox,Listing,Directory & Filters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.6 via the fc_load_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .html files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .html file types can be uploaded and included.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in curl <8.0.0 SFTP implementation causes the tilde (~) character to be wrongly replaced when used as a prefix in the first path element, in addition to its intended use as the first element to indicate a path relative to the user's home directory. Attackers can exploit this flaw to bypass filtering or execute arbitrary code by crafting a path like /~2/foo while accessing a server with a specific user.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows an authenticated attacker to create a malicious flow pointing to an attacker-controlled URL that returns a specially crafted Content-Disposition header (e.g., filename="../../../target/path" ), enabling arbitrary file write operations with attacker-controlled content to any path accessible by the Langflow process.

The SD-WAN Orchestrator 3.3.2 prior to 3.3.2 P3, 3.4.x prior to 3.4.4, and 4.0.x prior to 4.0.1 allows for executing files through directory traversal. An authenticated SD-WAN Orchestrator user is able to traversal directories which may lead to code execution of files.

DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) through 9.4.4 allows Path Traversal (issue 2 of 2).

SnapGear Management Console SG560 3.1.5 contains a file manipulation vulnerability that allows authenticated users to read, write, and delete files using the edit_config_files CGI script. Attackers can manipulate POST request parameters in /cgi-bin/cgix/edit_config_files to access and modify files outside the intended /etc/config/ directory.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in exec allowlist glob matching that allows lower-trust callers to execute actions beyond intended authorization. Attackers can craft input paths that traverse the allowlist glob patterns to execute or persist unauthorized actions when the affected feature is enabled.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the fndwar web application in HP Executive Scorecard 9.40 and 9.41 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code, or obtain sensitive information or delete data, via unspecified vectors, aka ZDI-CAN-2120.

Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Prior to 1.74.4, rclone serve restic --private-repos enforces authorization using the routed user path segment while building the backend object key from the raw uncleaned URL path, allowing an authenticated user to include .. in a request such as //..//config and read, overwrite, or delete another user's private repository on backends that clean path components. This issue is fixed in version 1.74.4.

Jenkins External Workspace Manager Plugin 1.3.2 and earlier does not reject path traversal sequences in the custom workspace path provided to the exwsAllocate Pipeline step, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system, which can lead to remote code execution.

PraisonAI before 1.5.115 contains a path traversal vulnerability in MultiAgentMonitor that fails to sanitize agent IDs when building file paths. Attackers can include traversal sequences like ../ in agent IDs to read, write, or overwrite arbitrary files, enabling sensitive disclosure, denial of service, or code execution.

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in SourceCodester Simple Forum-Discussion System 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /index.php. The manipulation of the argument page leads to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory vulnerability in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server version before 21.1050 allows attackers to write arbitrary file as system authority.
