CVE-2026-35483: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in oobabooga text-generation-webui
text-generation-webui is an open-source web interface for running Large Language Models. Prior to 4.3, an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in load_template() allows reading files with .jinja, .jinja2, .yaml, or .yml extensions from anywhere on the server filesystem. For .jinja files the content is returned verbatim; for .yaml files a parsed key is extracted. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-35483 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the load_template() function of oobabooga's text-generation-webui before version 4.3. It allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files with specific extensions (.jinja, .jinja2, .yaml, .yml) from the server filesystem. The vulnerability enables direct content disclosure of .jinja files and partial data extraction from .yaml files. This issue is resolved in version 4.3 of the software.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability permits unauthorized reading of sensitive files with certain extensions on the server hosting the vulnerable application. This can lead to information disclosure but does not affect integrity or availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to version 4.3 or later of text-generation-webui where this vulnerability is fixed. Since no official patch link or advisory is provided, users should verify the upgrade from the official oobabooga source. No other mitigation is indicated.
