CVE-2026-9468: Path Traversal in dazeb cline-mcp-memory-bank
CVE-2026-9468 is a medium severity path traversal vulnerability in the dazeb cline-mcp-memory-bank project. The flaw exists in the handleInitializeMemoryBank function in src/index. ts, where manipulation of the projectPath argument allows an attacker to perform path traversal. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and a public exploit has been released. The project uses a rolling release system, so specific affected or fixed versions are not disclosed. The vendor has been informed but has not yet responded or provided a fix.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a path traversal issue in the handleInitializeMemoryBank function of the dazeb cline-mcp-memory-bank component. By manipulating the projectPath argument, an attacker can traverse directories outside the intended scope. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and a public exploit is available. Due to the rolling release model, version details for affected or patched releases are not specified. The vendor has not issued any advisory or patch at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to access files outside the intended directory structure, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure or further system compromise. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without user interaction and has a medium CVSS score of 5.3. No known exploits in the wild have been reported beyond the public exploit release.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or released a fix, users should monitor official channels for updates. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the affected functionality or applying environment-level controls to limit path traversal impact.
