CVE-2026-62278: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in hargata lubelog
LubeLogger is a self-hosted, open-source, web-based vehicle maintenance and fuel mileage tracker. Prior to 1.6.8, authenticated non-administrative users could reach HandleTranslationFileUpload and influence the name passed from Controllers/FilesController.cs to RenameFile in Helper/FileHelper.cs. RenameFile constructed newFilePath with string replacement and moved the uploaded file without verifying the resolved absolute path remained under the web root or data directory. A crafted upload name could therefore move an uploaded file outside the intended storage directory, enabling unauthorized file placement or overwrite with the privileges of the application process. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.8.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-62278 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the open-source LubeLogger vehicle maintenance application. Authenticated non-admin users could exploit the HandleTranslationFileUpload functionality to manipulate the filename passed to the RenameFile function. RenameFile constructs the new file path using string replacement without verifying that the absolute path remains within the allowed directories, enabling unauthorized file placement or overwriting outside the intended storage area. This flaw is resolved in LubeLogger version 1.6.8.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an authenticated non-administrative user to place or overwrite files outside the designated storage directories with the privileges of the application process. This can lead to unauthorized file modification or placement, potentially compromising the integrity of the application or the underlying system. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.1, indicating high severity with impact on confidentiality and integrity but no impact on availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade LubeLogger to version 1.6.8 or later, where this path traversal vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.
