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
This vulnerability exists in the luci-app-bmx7 component of OpenWrt's luci interface. The bmx7-info CGI script does not properly restrict pathname inputs, enabling attackers to perform path traversal attacks. By manipulating the query string with directory traversal sequences, attackers can access sensitive files outside the configured runtimeDir without authentication.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files accessible to the CGI process, potentially exposing sensitive information. This can lead to information disclosure but does not require privileges or user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is indicated in the provided data.
