SciTokens is a reference library for generating and using SciTokens. Prior to version 1.9.7, the Enforcer is vulnerable to a path traversal attack where an attacker can use dot-dot (..) in the scope claim of a token to escape the intended directory restriction. This occurs because the library normalizes both the authorized path (from the token) and the requested path (from the application) before comparing them using startswith. This issue has been patched in version 1.9.7.

Absolute Path Traversal vulnerability in GetImage in QSAN Storage Manager allows remote authenticated attackers download arbitrary files via the Url path parameter. The referred vulnerability has been solved with the updated version of QSAN Storage Manager v3.3.3 .

OpenProject is an open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.2.0, an authenticated project member with BCF import permissions can upload a crafted .bcf archive where the <Snapshot> value in markup.bcf is manipulated to contain an absolute or traversal local path (for example: /etc/passwd or ../../../../etc/passwd). During import, this untrusted <Snapshot> value is used as file.path during attachment processing. As a result, local filesystem content can be read outside the intended ZIP scope. This results in an Arbitrary File Read (AFR) within the read permissions of the OpenProject application user. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.2.0.

Webile 1.0.1 contains a directory traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to manipulate file system paths without authentication. Attackers can exploit path manipulation to access sensitive system directories and potentially compromise the mobile device's local file system.

A path injection vulnerability exists in OpenPLC v3 (2c82b0e79c53f8c1f1458eee15fec173400d6e1a) as the binary program compiled from glue_generator.cpp does not perform any validation on the file path parameters passed via the command line. The user-controlled input parameters are directly passed to the underlying file operation functions (fopen/ifstream/ofstream) for file reading and writing. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by constructing a malicious path to read arbitrary readable files.

Flare is a Next.js-based, self-hostable file sharing platform that integrates with screenshot tools. Prior to 1.7.3, an authenticated path traversal vulnerability in /api/avatars/[filename] allows any logged-in user to read arbitrary files from within the application container. The filename URL parameter is passed to path.join() without sanitization, and getFileStream() performs no path validation, enabling %2F-encoded ../ sequences to escape the uploads/avatars/ directory and read any file accessible to the nextjs process under /app/. Authentication is enforced by Next.js middleware. However, on instances with open registration enabled (the default), any attacker can self-register and immediately exploit this. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.3.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the /IDC_Logging/checkifdone.cgi script in International Datacasting Corporation (IDC) SFX Series SuperFlex Satellite Receiver Web management portal version 101. An authenticated attacker can manipulate the `file` parameter to traverse directories and enumerate arbitrary files on the underlying filesystem. Due to the insecure perl file path handling function in use, a authenticated actor is able to preform directory traversal, with the backup endpoint confirming a file exists by indicating that a backup operation was successful or when using the path of a non existent file, the returned status is failed.

Beszel is a server monitoring platform. Prior to version 0.18.2, the hub's authenticated API endpoints GET /api/beszel/containers/logs and GET /api/beszel/containers/info pass the user-supplied "container" query parameter to the agent without validation. The agent constructs Docker Engine API URLs using fmt.Sprintf with the raw value instead of url.PathEscape(). Since Go's http.Client does not sanitize `../` sequences from URL paths sent over unix sockets, an authenticated user (including readonly role) can traverse to arbitrary Docker API endpoints on agent hosts, exposing sensitive infrastructure details. Version 0.18.4 fixes the issue.

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a local media root bypass vulnerability in sendAttachment and setGroupIcon message actions when sandboxRoot is unset. Attackers can hydrate media from local absolute paths to read arbitrary host files accessible by the runtime user.

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.14, authenticated attackers can read arbitrary files from the Gateway host by supplying absolute paths or path traversal sequences to the browser tool's `upload` action. The server passed these paths to Playwright's `setInputFiles()` APIs without restricting them to a safe root. An attacker must reach the Gateway HTTP surface (or otherwise invoke the same browser control hook endpoints); present valid Gateway auth (bearer token / password), as required by the Gateway configuration (In common default setups, the Gateway binds to loopback and the onboarding wizard generates a gateway token even for loopback); and have the `browser` tool permitted by tool policy for the target session/context (and have browser support enabled). If an operator exposes the Gateway beyond loopback (LAN/tailnet/custom bind, reverse proxy, tunnels, etc.), the impact increases accordingly. Starting in version 2026.2.14, the upload paths are now confined to OpenClaw's temp uploads root (`DEFAULT_UPLOAD_DIR`) and traversal/escape paths are rejected.

A vulnerability was found in CoCoTeaNet CyreneAdmin up to 1.3.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /api/system/user/getAvatar of the component Image Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument Avatar results in path traversal. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Directory traversal vulnerability in MyBB (aka MyBulletinBoard) 1.4.10, and possibly earlier versions, when changing the user avatar from the gallery, allows remote authenticated users to determine the existence of files via directory traversal sequences in the avatar and possibly the gallery parameters, related to (1) admin/modules/user/users.php and (2) usercp.php.

The Gotham Block Extra Light plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0 via the 'ghostban' shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.

IBM webMethods API Gateway (on-prem) 10.11 through 10.11_Fix3210.15 to 10.15_Fix2711.1 to 11.1_Fix7 IBM webMethods API Management (on-prem) fails to properly validate user-supplied input passed to the url parameter on the /createapi endpoint. An attacker can modify this parameter to use a file:// URI schema instead of the expected https:// schema, enabling unauthorized arbitrary file read access on the underlying server file system.

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.1.30, the isValidMedia() function in src/media/parse.ts allows arbitrary file paths including absolute paths, home directory paths, and directory traversal sequences. An agent can read any file on the system by outputting MEDIA:/path/to/file, exfiltrating sensitive data to the user/channel. This issue has been patched in version 2026.1.30.

Discord-Recon is a bot for the Discord chat service. In versions of Discord-Recon 0.0.3 and prior, a remote attacker is able to read local files from the server that can disclose important information. As a workaround, a bot maintainer can locate the file `app.py` and add `.replace('..', '')` into the `Path` variable inside of the `recon` function. The vulnerability is patched in version 0.0.4.

Umbraco Forms is a form builder that integrates with the Umbraco content management system. It's possible for an authenticated backoffice-user to enumerate and traverse paths/files on the systems filesystem and read their contents, on Mac/Linux Umbraco installations using Forms. As Umbraco Cloud runs in a Windows environment, Cloud users aren't affected. This issue affects versions 16 and 17 of Umbraco Forms and is patched in 16.4.1 and 17.1.1. If upgrading is not immediately possible, users can mitigate this vulnerability by configuring a WAF or reverse proxy to block requests containing path traversal sequences (`../`, `..\`) in the `fileName` parameter of the export endpoint, restricting network access to the Umbraco backoffice to trusted IP ranges, and/or blocking the `/umbraco/forms/api/v1/export` endpoint entirely if the export feature is not required. However, upgrading to the patched version is strongly recommended.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in MagePeople Team Event Manager for WooCommerce allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Event Manager for WooCommerce: from n/a through 4.2.1.

The Breaking News WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.3. This is due to the brnwp_ajax_form AJAX endpoint lacking both authorization checks and CSRF verification, combined with insufficient path validation when the brnwp_theme option value is passed directly to an include() statement in the brnwp_show_breaking_news_wp() shortcode handler. While sanitize_text_field() is applied to user input, it does not strip directory traversal sequences (../). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the brnwp_theme option with a directory traversal payload (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd) and subsequently trigger file inclusion of arbitrary files on the server when the shortcode is rendered.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Rashid87 WPSection allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects WPSection: from n/a through 1.3.8.

Streamlit is a data oriented application development framework for python. Snowflake Streamlit open source addressed a security vulnerability via the static file sharing feature. Users of hosted Streamlit app(s) on Windows were vulnerable to a path traversal vulnerability when the static file sharing feature is enabled. An attacker could utilize the vulnerability to leak the password hash of the Windows user running Streamlit. The vulnerability was patched on Jul 25, 2024, as part of Streamlit open source version 1.37.0. The vulnerability only affects Windows.

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and below, the directory traversal fix introduced in commit 2375eb5e0 for `objects/aVideoEncoderReceiveImage.json.php` only checks the URL path component (via `parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH)`) for `..` sequences. However, the downstream function `try_get_contents_from_local()` in `objects/functionsFile.php` uses `explode('/videos/', $url)` on the **full URL string** including the query string. An attacker can place the `/videos/../../` traversal payload in the query string to bypass the security check and read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. Commit bd11c16ec894698e54e2cdae25026c61ad1ed441 contains an updated fix.
