CVE-2026-43624: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in SWivid F5-TTS
F5-TTS through version 1.1.20 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the finetune Gradio handlers that allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files by passing unsanitized user-supplied project names directly to os.path.join() without validating the resulting path stays within the intended base directory. Attackers can supply absolute path arguments such as /tmp/EVIL to override the base directory entirely and create arbitrary directories with attacker-controlled JSON content at any filesystem path writable by the server process.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-43624 is a path traversal vulnerability in SWivid's F5-TTS product up to version 1.1.20. The issue exists in the finetune Gradio handlers where user-supplied project names are directly used in os.path.join() calls without proper validation. This allows attackers to specify absolute paths, overriding the base directory and enabling arbitrary file creation with attacker-controlled JSON content at any writable location on the server. The vulnerability requires no authentication and has a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can write arbitrary files to any location writable by the server process, potentially leading to unauthorized data modification, code injection, or persistence mechanisms. This could compromise the integrity and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected service and monitor for suspicious activity related to file creation. Avoid exposing the vulnerable component to untrusted networks if possible.
