CWE-22: Path Traversal vulnerabilities

A path traversal vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary host file read or unconstrained file creation. When processing image metadata templates, LXD fails to properly sanitize or restrict template file paths from escaping the instance templates directory (specifically affecting virtual machine / QEMU driver execution paths). An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a crafted image archive with malicious template directives containing path traversal sequences, causing LXD to access or write files outside the intended template directory on the host system.

A path traversal vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to manipulate file system paths during backup import and restore operations. When importing or restoring a backup archive, LXD fails to validate instance and storage volume names contained within the archive metadata. An attacker can exploit this flaw by supplying a crafted backup archive with malicious instance or volume names containing path traversal sequences, potentially allowing file access or overwriting outside the designated restore directory.

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory.

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information and manipulate files due to a path traversal vulnerability.

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper validation of user-supplied path input.

In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2026.0.2, a privileged attacker can create a LogToFile action specifying an arbitrary file extension within the IIS web root.

SSH.NET is a Secure Shell (SSH) library for .NET. In 2025.1.0 and earlier, ScpClient.Download(string directoryName, DirectoryInfo directoryInfo) trusts file and directory names returned by a remote SCP server and combines them with the requested local directory without containment validation, allowing a malicious, compromised, or man-in-the-middle server to use ../ sequences or absolute paths to create or overwrite files anywhere writable by the client process. This issue is fixed in version 2026.0.0.

An authenticated user may write data outside the intended Docker cache path under specific remote-repository conditions.

CVE-2026-66382 is a path traversal vulnerability in JFrog Artifactory that allows an authenticated user to write files outside the intended work directory under specific conditions. This flaw affects versions prior to 7.146.35 and between 7.161.0 and 7.161.16. The issue has been fixed in versions 7.146.35 and 7.161.16. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 4.3, indicating limited impact on confidentiality but potential integrity concerns.

CVE-2026-66381 is a path traversal vulnerability in JFrog Artifactory that allows a repository reader with cache-deploy permission to access content outside a configured upstream path under specific conditions. This flaw affects certain versions prior to 7.146.35 and between 7.161.0 and before 7.161.16. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.3. Fixed versions 7.146.35 and 7.161.16 address this issue.

Seerr is an open-source media request and discovery manager for Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby. Prior to version 3.4.0, Seerr's ImageProxy in server/lib/imageproxy.ts uses the upstream ETag and Content-Type response headers to build a cache filename for the unauthenticated GET /avatarproxy/:jellyfinUserId route, allowing a malicious or compromised Jellyfin or Emby server, or a man-in-the-middle attacker on a plaintext media-server connection, to supply traversal sequences that path.join and fs.writeFile normalize outside the cache directory, overwrite /app/dist/index.js or other files, and execute code as the node user after a container restart. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.0.

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Unauthenticated arbitrary directory creation and file write in SP Page Builder < 6.8.0 - An unauthenticated attacker can create arbitrary directories and files with a predefined name.

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Unauthenticated arbitrary local PHP file inclusion in SP Page Builder < 6.8.0 - An unauthenticated attacker can perform includes to arbitrary PHP files that are accessible by the system.

Malcolm is a network traffic analysis tool suite. Prior to version 26.07.0, `safe-extract.py` protects file extraction with libarchive's secure flags, but creates directory entries with a raw `os.makedirs(os.path.join(dest, entry.pathname))` that has no traversal protection. An uploaded malicious archive containing a directory entry with a `../` sequence or an absolute path causes the filebeat processing container to create directories outside the intended extraction directory. Version 26.07.0 fixes the issue.

kkFileView is a universal file online preview project based on Spring Boot. Prior to 5.0.1, the unauthenticated POST /listFiles endpoint in server/src/main/java/cn/keking/web/controller/FileController.java passes the user-controlled path parameter from FileController#getFiles to Files.newDirectoryStream without confinement to the demo directory, allowing directory enumeration outside the intended root. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.1.

The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_revision function in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.169. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). By placing post_type=attachment exclusively in the query string to bypass the consistency check, an attacker can convert an auto-draft GeoDirectory listing into a WordPress attachment with attacker-controlled file paths injected into attachment metadata, which the delete_revision handler then dereferences and unlinks without any post-type or path validation.

Lightroom Classic is affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive files and directories outside the intended access scope. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. Scope is changed.

Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in Microsoft Teams for Android allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

CAI Content Credentials is affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could result in a Arbitrary file system read. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain unauthorized read access to files or directories outside the intended restrictions. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.

CAI Content Credentials is affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive files and directories outside the intended access scope. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must visit a maliciously crafted URL or interact with a compromised web page.
