CVE-2026-69095: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in openwrt luci
OpenWrt luci-app-bmx7 before commit 5890760a454dad2cb00389dba2cdc5e779e0ffdd contains a path traversal vulnerability in the bmx7-info CGI script that allows unauthenticated attackers to read files outside the configured runtimeDir. Attackers can supply directory traversal sequences in the query string to escape the intended directory and read sensitive files accessible to the CGI process.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-69095 is a path traversal vulnerability in the OpenWrt luci-app-bmx7 component, specifically in the bmx7-info CGI script. The flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass directory restrictions by using directory traversal sequences in the query string, enabling them to read arbitrary files outside the configured runtimeDir. This vulnerability affects versions prior to the commit 5890760a454dad2cb00389dba2cdc5e779e0ffdd. No official patch or remediation level has been provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected system that are accessible to the CGI process, potentially exposing sensitive information. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.7 (high severity), indicating a significant risk due to network attack vector, no required privileges or user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable CGI script and monitor for suspicious requests attempting directory traversal. Avoid exposing the vulnerable service to untrusted networks.
