CVE-2026-95272: Path Traversal in dgtlmoon changedetection.io
A vulnerability was found in dgtlmoon changedetection.io up to 0.60.7. This affects the function static_content of the file changedetectionio/flask_app.py of the component Screenshot Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument filename results in path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in changedetection.io versions 0.60.0 through 0.60.7 allows remote attackers to perform path traversal by manipulating the filename parameter in the static_content function within changedetectionio/flask_app.py. This can lead to unauthorized access to files on the server. The attack complexity is high, and no privileges or user interaction are required. The vendor was notified but did not respond, and no official patch or remediation is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read arbitrary files on the affected system by traversing directories via the filename parameter. This could lead to disclosure of sensitive information. The vulnerability does not require privileges or user interaction but is rated as difficult to exploit due to high complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official fix or patch is currently available, and the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts. Users should monitor vendor channels for updates. Until a patch is released, consider restricting access to the affected service or implementing network-level controls to limit exposure. Review application logs for suspicious access patterns related to filename parameters.
