Census CSWeb 8.0.1 allows arbitrary file upload. A remote, authenticated attacker could upload a malicious file, possibly leading to remote code execution. Fixed in 8.1.0 alpha.

An authenticated attacker can upload a file with a filename including “..” and “/” to achieve the ability to upload the desired file anywhere on the filesystem. This vulnerability impacts products based on HID Mercury Intelligent Controllers LP1501, LP1502, LP2500, LP4502, and EP4502 which contain firmware versions prior to 1.271. This allows a malicious actor to overwrite sensitive system files and install a startup service to gain remote access to the underlaying Linux operating system with root privileges.

A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3_mknod_req supported by glusterfs server. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to write files to an arbitrary location via path traversal and execute arbitrary code on a glusterfs server node.

log-user-session version 0.7 and earlier contains a Directory Traversal vulnerability in Main SUID-binary /usr/local/bin/log-user-session that can result in User to root privilege escalation. This attack appear to be exploitable via Malicious unprivileged user executes the vulnerable binary/(remote) environment variable manipulation similar shell-shock also possible.

goshs is a SimpleHTTPServer written in Go. Prior to 2.0.0-beta.6, goshs contains an SFTP root escape caused by prefix-based path validation. An authenticated SFTP user can read from and write to filesystem paths outside the configured SFTP root, which breaks the intended jail boundary and can expose or modify unrelated server files. The SFTP subsystem routes requests through sftpserver/sftpserver.go into DefaultHandler.GetHandler() in sftpserver/handler.go, which forwards file operations into readFile, writeFile, listFile, and cmdFile. All of those sinks rely on sanitizePath() in sftpserver/helper.go. helper.go uses a raw string-prefix comparison, not a directory-boundary check. Because of that, if the configured root is /tmp/goshsroot, then a sibling path such as /tmp/goshsroot_evil/secret.txt incorrectly passes validation since it starts with the same byte prefix. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-beta.6.

A vulnerability in the web management interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct directory traversal attacks and obtain read and write access to sensitive files on a targeted system. The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper validation of files that are uploaded to an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a crafted file to an affected system. An exploit could allow the attacker to view or modify arbitrary files on the targeted system.

Winmail Server 6.1 allows remote code execution by authenticated users who leverage directory traversal in a netdisk.php move_folder_file call to move a .php file from the FTP folder into a web folder.

SillyTavern is a locally installed user interface that allows users to interact with text generation large language models, image generation engines, and text-to-speech voice models. Prior to version 1.17.0, a path traversal vulnerability in chat endpoints allows an authenticated attacker to read and delete arbitrary files under their user data root (for example secrets.json and settings.json) by supplying avatar_url="..". This issue has been patched in version 1.17.0.

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).

text-generation-webui is an open-source web interface for running Large Language Models. Prior to 4.1.1, users can save extention settings in "py" format and in the app root directory. This allows to overwrite python files, for instance the "download-model.py" file could be overwritten. Then, this python file can be triggered to get executed from "Model" menu when requesting to download a new model. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1.1.

Tina is a headless content management system. 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.

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.

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.

Improper limitation of path names in Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5U3, 9.5U4,10.x, and 11.x allows remote authenticated users access to internal API functions that allows attackers to upload and execute arbitrary code.

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.

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.

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.

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain a path traversal vulnerability in apply_patch that allows attackers to write or delete files outside the configured workspace directory. When apply_patch is enabled without filesystem sandbox containment, attackers can exploit crafted paths including directory traversal sequences or absolute paths to escape workspace boundaries and modify arbitrary files.

The JKDEVKIT plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'font_upload_handler' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.4. 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). If WooCommerce is enabled, attackers will need Contributor-level access and above.

Passwork On-Premise Edition before 4.6.13 allows migration/uploadExportFile Directory Traversal (to upload files).

This affects the package com.diffplug.gradle:goomph before 3.37.2. It allows a malicious zip file to potentially break out of the expected destination directory, writing contents into arbitrary locations on the file system. Overwriting certain files/directories could allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution on a target system by exploiting this vulnerability. **Note:** This could have allowed a malicious zip file to extract itself into an arbitrary directory. The only file that Goomph extracts is the p2 bootstrapper and eclipse metadata files hosted at eclipse.org, which are not malicious, so the only way this vulnerability could have affected you is if you had set a custom bootstrap zip, and that zip was malicious.

The Team WordPress plugin before 4.1.2 contains a file which could allow any authenticated users to download arbitrary files from the server via a path traversal vector. Furthermore, the file will also be deleted after its content is returned to the user

Improper access control vulnerability in pfSense CE and pfSense Plus (pfSense CE software versions prior to 2.6.0 and pfSense Plus software versions prior to 22.01) allows a remote attacker with the privilege to change NTP GPS settings to rewrite existing files on the file system, which may result in arbitrary command execution.

The 'POST /api/v2/files' endpoint does not sanitize the 'filename' parameter from the multipart form data, allowing an attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem using path traversal sequences ('../').

Flux is an open and extensible continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes. Path Traversal in the kustomize-controller via a malicious `kustomization.yaml` allows an attacker to expose sensitive data from the controller’s pod filesystem and possibly privilege escalation in multi-tenancy deployments. Workarounds include automated tooling in the user's CI/CD pipeline to validate `kustomization.yaml` files conform with specific policies. This vulnerability is fixed in kustomize-controller v0.24.0 and included in flux2 v0.29.0.

The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'WPJOBPORTALcustomfields::removeFileCustom' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.9. 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).

A vulnerability has been found in HummerRisk up to 1.5.0. This issue affects the function extractTarGZ/extractZip of the file hummer-common/hummer-common-core/src/main/java/com/hummer/common/core/utils/CommandUtils.java of the component Archive Extraction. The manipulation leads to path traversal. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

In EMC ViPR SRM, Storage M&R, VNX M&R, and M&R (Watch4Net) for SAS Solution Packs, the Webservice Gateway is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability. Attackers with knowledge of Webservice Gateway credentials could potentially exploit this vulnerability to access unauthorized information, and modify or delete data, by supplying specially crafted strings in input parameters of the web service call.

Icinga Web 2 is an open source monitoring web interface, framework and command-line interface. Authenticated users, with access to the configuration, can create SSH resource files in unintended directories, leading to the execution of arbitrary code. This issue has been resolved in versions 2.8.6, 2.9.6 and 2.10 of Icinga Web 2. Users unable to upgrade should limit access to the Icinga Web 2 configuration.

This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute remote commands with improper validation of parameters of certain API constructors. Remote attackers could use this vulnerability to execute malicious commands such as directory traversal.

AGiXT is a dynamic AI Agent Automation Platform. Prior to 1.9.2, the safe_join() function in the essential_abilities extension fails to validate that resolved file paths remain within the designated agent workspace. An authenticated attacker can use directory traversal sequences to read, write, or delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the AGiXT instance. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.2.

Multiple vulnerabilities in the REST API of Cisco UCS Director and Cisco UCS Director Express for Big Data may allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication or conduct directory traversal attacks on an affected device. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.

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.

An issue was discovered in Observium Professional, Enterprise & Community 20.8.10631. It is vulnerable to directory traversal and local file inclusion due to the fact that there is an unrestricted possibility of loading any file with an inc.php extension. Inclusion of other files (even though limited to the mentioned extension) can lead to Remote Code Execution. This can occur via /apps/?app=../ URIs.

An issue was discovered in SolarWinds N-Central 12.3.0.670. The AdvancedScripts HTTP endpoint allows Relative Path Traversal by an authenticated user of the N-Central Administration Console (NAC), leading to execution of OS commands as root.

Jellyfin is an open source self hosted media server. Versions prior to 10.11.7 contain a vulnerability chain in the subtitle upload endpoint (POST /Videos/{itemId}/Subtitles), where the Format field is not validated, allowing path traversal via the file extension and enabling arbitrary file write. This arbitrary file write can be chained into arbitrary file read via .strm files, database extraction, admin privilege escalation, and ultimately remote code execution as root via ld.so.preload. Exploitation requires an administrator account or a user that has been explicitly granted the "Upload Subtitles" permission. This issue has been fixed in version 10.11.7. If users are unable to upgrade immediately, they can grant non-administrator users Subtitle upload permissions to reduce attack surface.

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.

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.

A relative path traversal attack in the B. Braun Melsungen AG SpaceCom Version L81/U61 and earlier, and the Data module compactplus Versions A10 and A11 allows attackers with service user privileges to upload arbitrary files. By uploading a specially crafted tar file an attacker can execute arbitrary commands.

A vulnerability in the Localdisk Management feature of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to make unauthorized changes to the file system of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request with absolute path sequences. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to upload malicious files to arbitrary locations within the file system. Using this method, it is possible to access the underlying operating system and execute commands with system privileges.

A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability was discovered in the htmlformentry (aka HTML Form Entry) module before 3.11.0 for OpenMRS. By leveraging path traversal, a malicious Velocity Template Language file could be written to a directory. This file could then be accessed and executed.

ProjeQtor versions 7.0 through 12.4.3 contain a ZipSlip path traversal vulnerability in the plugin upload functionality that allows authenticated attackers with upload permissions to write files outside the intended extraction directory by crafting ZIP archives with directory traversal sequences. Attackers can exploit unvalidated archive extraction to write a PHP webshell to a web-accessible directory and achieve remote code execution with the privileges of the web server process.

This High severity Path Traversal (Arbitrary Write) vulnerability was introduced in versions: 9.12.0, 10.3.0 and remain present in 11.0.0 of Jira Software Data Center and Server.

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.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Marvell QConvergeConsole 5.5.0.64. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the writeObjectToConfigFile method of the GWTTestServiceImpl class.
