Music Player Daemon (MPD) before version 0.24.11 contains a path traversal vulnerability in LocalStorage::MapFSOrThrow and LocalStorage::MapUTF8 within the local storage plugin, where the on-disk path is constructed by joining the storage root with a user-supplied URI as plain strings without canonicalization, allowing '..' segments to survive into the resolved path and be flattened by the kernel at openat() time. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw using the listfiles command to enumerate names, sizes, and modification times of arbitrary directories readable by the MPD process, and the albumart command to read image files in any attacker-chosen directory outside the configured music_directory.
The Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read via the Repeater JSON/CSV URL parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.0.6. This is due to insufficient path traversal sanitization in the URLtoRelative() and urlToPath() functions, combined with the ability to enable debug output in widget settings. The URLtoRelative() function only performs a simple string replacement to remove the site's base URL without sanitizing path traversal sequences (../), and the cleanPath() function only normalizes directory separators without removing traversal components. This allows an attacker to provide a URL like http://site.com/../../../../etc/passwd which, after URLtoRelative() strips the domain, results in /../../../../etc/passwd being concatenated with the base path and ultimately resolved to /etc/passwd. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to read arbitrary local files from the WordPress host, including sensitive files such as wp-config.
There is a path traversal vulnerability in Huawei FusionCube 6.0.2.The vulnerability is due to that the software uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the software does not properly validate the pathname. Successful exploit could allow the attacker to access a location that is outside of the restricted directory by a crafted filename.
The File RepositoRy Server (FRS) CORBA listener in SAP BussinessObjects Edge 4.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a full pathname, aka SAP Note 2018682.

The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions up to, and including, 1.52.1 via the 'upload-1[file][file_path]' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. Successful exploitation requires a publicly accessible form with a File Upload field where Save and Continue is enabled in that form's Behavior settings and the Save and Continue email notification is configured to attach uploaded files in Email Notifications.
OpenCV-REST-API master branch as of commit 69be158c05d4dd5a4aff38fdc680a162dd6b9e49 is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability. This attack can cause the disclosure of critical secrets stored anywhere on the system and can significantly aid in getting remote code access.
Synerion TimeNet version 9.21 contains a directory traversal vulnerability where, on the "Name" parameter, the attacker can return to the root directory and open the host file. This might give the attacker the ability to view restricted files, which could provide the attacker with more information required to further compromise the system.
esm.sh is a no-build content delivery network (CDN) for web development. In 137 and earlier, a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the esbuild plugin's handling of the browser field in package.json. An attacker can publish an npm package that causes the server to read and return arbitrary files from the host filesystem during the build process.
Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. Grafana versions 8.0.0-beta1 through 8.3.0 (except for patched versions) iss vulnerable to directory traversal, allowing access to local files. The vulnerable URL path is: `<grafana_host_url>/public/plugins//`, where is the plugin ID for any installed plugin. At no time has Grafana Cloud been vulnerable. Users are advised to upgrade to patched versions 8.0.7, 8.1.8, 8.2.7, or 8.3.1. The GitHub Security Advisory contains more information about vulnerable URL paths, mitigation, and the disclosure timeline.
A vulnerability has been found in binary-husky gpt_academic up to 3.91. Impacted is the function merge_tex_files_ of the file crazy_functions/latex_fns/latex_toolbox.py of the component LaTeX File Handler. Such manipulation of the argument \input{} leads to path traversal. The attack may be launched 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.
A researcher reported a Directory Transversal Vulnerability in Serv-U 15.3. This may allow access to files relating to the Serv-U installation and server files. This issue has been resolved in Serv-U 15.3 Hotfix 1.
A path traversal vulnerability in the static router for Drogon from 1.0.0-beta14 to 1.6.0 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to arbitrarily read files. The vulnerability is due to lack of proper input validation for requested path. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP request with specific path to read. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to read files that should be restricted.
Specific page parameters in Dr. ID Door Access Control and Personnel Attendance Management system does not filter special characters. Remote attackers can apply Path Traversal means to download credential files from the system without permission.
Kysely is a type-safe TypeScript SQL query builder. From 0.26.0 to 0.28.16, DefaultQueryCompiler.visitJSONPathLeg does not escape JSON-path metacharacters (., [, ], *, **, ?). When attacker-controlled input flows into eb.ref(col, '->$').key(input) or .at(input) — including type-safe code where the JSON column is shaped like Record<string, T> so K extends string is the inferred type — every dot becomes a path-leg separator, letting an attacker traverse from the intended key into sibling and child fields the developer never meant to expose. The result is read access (and, in update statements, write access) to JSON sub-fields outside the intended scope across MySQL, PostgreSQL ->$/->>$, and SQLite. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.28.17.
In Druid 1.2.3, visiting the path with parameter in a certain function can lead to directory traversal.
Cartadis Gespage through 8.2.1 allows Directory Traversal in gespage/doDownloadData and gespage/webapp/doDownloadData.
A directory traversal vulnerability in the web server of the Zyxel VPN2S firmware version 1.12 could allow a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
Mako is a template library written in Python. Prior to 1.3.12, on Windows, a URI using backslash traversal (e.g. \..\..\ secret.txt) bypasses the directory traversal check in Template.__init__ and the posixpath-based normalization in TemplateLookup.get_template(), allowing reads of files outside the configured template directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.12.
Tapestry processes assets `/assets/ctx` using classes chain `StaticFilesFilter -> AssetDispatcher -> ContextResource`, which doesn't filter the character `\`, so attacker can perform a path traversal attack to read any files on Windows platform.
An issue was discovered in FAUST iServer before 9.0.019.019.7. For each URL request, it accesses the corresponding .fau file on the operating system without preventing %2e%2e%5c directory traversal.

OpenAM Web Policy Agent (OpenAM Consortium Edition) provided by OpenAM Consortium parses URLs improperly, leading to a path traversal vulnerability(CWE-22). Furthermore, a crafted URL may be evaluated incorrectly.
Wiki.js is a wiki app built on Node.js. Prior to version 2.5.254, directory traversal outside of Wiki.js context is possible when a storage module with local asset cache fetching is enabled on a Windows host. A malicious user can potentially read any file on the file system by crafting a special URL that allows for directory traversal. This is only possible on a Wiki.js server running on Windows, when a storage module implementing local asset cache (e.g Local File System or Git) is enabled and that no web application firewall solution (e.g. cloudflare) strips potentially malicious URLs. Commit number 414033de9dff66a327e3f3243234852f468a9d85 fixes this vulnerability by sanitizing the path before it is passed on to the storage module. The sanitization step removes any windows directory traversal sequences from the path. As a workaround, disable any storage module with local asset caching capabilities (Local File System, Git).
A specially crafted url could be used to access files under the ROOT directory of the application on Apache JSPWiki 2.9.0 to 2.11.0.M2, which could be used by an attacker to obtain registered users' details.
Forms generated by JQueryForm.com before 2022-02-05 allow remote attackers to obtain the URI to any uploaded file by capturing the POST response. When chained with CVE-2022-24984, this could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution on the underlying web server. This occurs because the Unique ID field is contained in the POST response upon submitting a form.
PDF Export Module used in DHTMLX's products Gantt and Scheduler is vulnerable to Path Traversal due to lack of HTML sanitization. An unauthenticated user could craft the html payload which could include local files from the server and display them in the generated PDF. This issue was fixed in PDF Export Module version 0.7.6.
Web Path Directory Traversal in the Novus HTTP Server. The Novus HTTP Server is affected by the Directory Traversal for Arbitrary File Access vulnerability. A remote, unauthenticated attacker using an HTTP GET request may be able to exploit this issue to access sensitive data. The issue was discovered in the NMS (Novus Management System) software through 1.51.2
xiaomusic v0.5.7 contains an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in the GET /music/{file_path:path} endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files outside the intended music directory by exploiting an incomplete path prefix check. Attackers can request files from sibling directories whose names share the music_path prefix by crafting traversal sequences, bypassing the path restriction due to the missing trailing separator in the comparison logic to retrieve arbitrary files from the server.
YARD is a Ruby Documentation tool. Prior to version 0.9.42, a path traversal vulnerability was discovered in YARD when using yard server to serve documentation. This bug would allow unsanitized HTTP requests to access arbitrary files on the machine of a yard server host under certain conditions. This issue has been patched in version 0.9.42.
Mako is a template library written in Python. Prior to 1.3.11, TemplateLookup.get_template() is vulnerable to path traversal when a URI starts with // (e.g., //../../../secret.txt). The root cause is an inconsistency between two slash-stripping implementations. Any file readable by the process can be returned as rendered template content when an application passes untrusted input directly to TemplateLookup.get_template(). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.11.
A path Traversal vulnerability exists in Ziostation2 v2.9.8.7 and earlier. A remote unauthenticated attacker may get sensitive information on the operating system.
Emmett is a full-stack Python web framework designed with simplicity. From 2.5.0 to before 2.8.1, the RSGI static handler for Emmett's internal assets (/__emmett__ paths) is vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can use ../ sequences (eg /__emmett__/../rsgi/handlers.py) to read arbitrary files outside the assets directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.1.
An improper validation of the search parameter of the com_media files API endpoint leads to a path traversal vulnerability.
OpenMRS Core is an open source electronic medical record system platform. In versions 2.7.8 and earlier and versions 2.8.0 through 2.8.5, the `/openmrs/moduleResources/{moduleid}` endpoint is vulnerable to a path traversal attack. The ModuleResourcesServlet constructs a filesystem path from user-controlled input without performing path boundary validation — the getFile() method concatenates the user-supplied path into an absolute filesystem path without calling normalize() or checking that the result stays within the allowed module resources directory. Because this endpoint serves static resources required for rendering the login page, it is not protected by authentication filters, allowing unauthenticated exploitation. An attacker can traverse directories and read arbitrary files from the server filesystem, including /etc/passwd and application configuration files containing database credentials. Successful exploitation requires the target deployment to run on Apache Tomcat versions prior to 8.5.31, where the ..; path parameter bypass is not mitigated by the container. Deployments on Tomcat 8.5.31 or later and Tomcat 9.0.10 or later are protected at the container level, though the underlying code defect remains. This issue has been fixed in versions after 2.7.8 (within the 2.7.x branch) and in version 2.8.6 and later.
LiquidJS is a Shopify / GitHub Pages compatible template engine in pure JavaScript. Prior to 10.25.3, liquidjs 10.25.0 documents root as constraining filenames passed to renderFile() and parseFile(), but top-level file loads do not enforce that boundary. A Liquid instance configured with an empty temporary directory as root can return the contents of arbitrary files. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.25.3.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway <= 3.0.7 the filename parameter is vulnerable to unauthenticated path traversal attacks, enabling read access to arbitrary files on the server.

The affected application contains a path traversal vulnerability that could allow to read arbitrary files on the server that are outside the application’s web document directory. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this issue to access sensitive information for subsequent attacks.
FANUC ROBOGUIDE-HandlingPRO Versions 9 Rev.ZD and prior is vulnerable to a path traversal, which could allow an attacker to remotely read files on the system running the affected software.
The Popup Builder WordPress plugin before 4.2.6 does not validate a parameter before making a request to it, which could allow users with the administrator role to perform SSRF attack in Multisite WordPress configurations.
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.113, _validate_path() calls os.path.normpath() first, which collapses .. sequences, then checks for '..' in normalized. Since .. is already collapsed, the check always passes. This makes the check completely useless and allows trivial path traversal to any file on the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.113.
Speco Web Viewer through 2021-05-12 allows Directory Traversal via GET request for a URI with /.. at the beginning, as demonstrated by reading the /etc/passwd file.
Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to 4.12.12, a path traversal issue in toSSG() allows files to be written outside the configured output directory during static site generation. When using dynamic route parameters via ssgParams, specially crafted values can cause generated file paths to escape the intended output directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.12.12.
SAP Cloud Connector, version - 2.0, allows the upload of zip files as backup. This backup file can be tricked to inject special elements such as '..' and '/' separators, for attackers to escape outside of the restricted location to access files or directories.
The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.15.17 via the 'ajax_create_import' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
ECOA BAS controller suffers from a path traversal vulnerability, causing arbitrary files disclosure. Using the specific POST parameter, unauthenticated attackers can remotely disclose arbitrary files on the affected device and disclose sensitive and system information.
IceWarp Webclient before 10.2.1 has a directory traversal vulnerability. This can result in loss of confidential data of IceWarp Mailserver and the operating system. Input passed via a certain parameter (script to basic/minimizer/index.php) is not properly sanitised and can therefore be exploited to browse the partition where IceWarp is installed (or the whole system) and read arbitrary files.
A path traversal vulnerability in the DxWebEngine component of DH2i DxEnterprise and DxOdyssey for Windows, version 19.5 through 20.x before 20.0.219.0, allows an attacker to read any file on the host file system via an HTTP request.
