Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, versions prior to 11.1.0.2, contains a Relative Path Traversal vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Filesystem access for attacker.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Download File feature of com.talpa.hibrowser 2.23.1.1 on Android. This flaw allows an attacker to write arbitrary files by using directory traversal sequences in the filename parameter. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.5 but does not impact confidentiality or integrity, only availability. No patch or remediation information is currently available.

Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in livebook-dev livebook allows an attacker-authored notebook to write a file with attacker-controlled content to an arbitrary path. A .livemd notebook can declare file_entries metadata, each entry carrying a name. Every path that creates a file entry through the user interface validates that name with Livebook.Notebook.validate_file_entry_name/2, which requires a flat filename of alphanumerics, dashes, underscores and dots, ending in an extension. The import path does not: Livebook.LiveMarkdown.Import.file_entry_metadata_to_attrs/1 in lib/livebook/live_markdown/import.ex takes the name verbatim from the notebook source. For a URL-type file entry, Livebook.Session.file_entry_cache_file/2 in lib/livebook/session.ex resolves that name beneath the session's temporary directory without checking that the result stays inside it, and Livebook.FileSystem.Utils.resolve_unix_like_path/2 collapses parent-directory segments while clamping only at the filesystem root. When the entry's content is requested and no cached copy exists, Livebook fetches the entry's URL and writes the response body to the resolved path, creating parent directories as needed. The attacker therefore controls both the destination and the contents of the written file, which may land anywhere the Livebook process can write. The same missing containment check is present in Livebook.Session.to_attachment_file_entry/2. A victim who opens an attacker-supplied notebook and causes the entry to be fetched triggers the write within their own authenticated session; the attacker needs no account on the target instance. URL-type entries are also not placed under notebook stamping quarantine on import, so no warning is shown. This issue affects livebook: from 0.11.0 before 0.18.7 and from 0.19.0 before 0.19.9.

Path Traversal in Download File Feature in com.talpa.hibrowser 2.23.1.1 on Android allows arbitrary file write via directory traversal sequences in the filename.

hashi-vault-js is a Node.js module for interacting with the HashiCorp Vault API. Prior to 0.5.2, src/Vault.js concatenates unencoded identifier values including name, username, group, role, and version into Vault request paths and query strings instead of using encodeURIComponent() and URLSearchParams, allowing path traversal and query parameter injection. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.2.

CVE-2026-6540 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Tigera Calico's Application Layer Policy feature, which is disabled by default. The vulnerability arises because the policy enforcement component, Dikastes, does not properly normalize URL paths before applying prefix path rules. This allows attackers with network access and no special privileges to bypass HTTP restrictions by using path traversal sequences or encoded slashes, potentially accessing HTTP endpoints that should be restricted.

Vacron VIN-DS783E-E6 contains a high-severity Arbitrary File Read vulnerability due to a relative path traversal flaw. Authenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to download arbitrary system files. No patch or official remediation has been confirmed yet. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1, indicating a high impact if exploited.

A Path Traversal vulnerability exists in Quick.CMS through the URI path component of HTTP requests, where the server fails to normalize dot-dot-slash (../) sequences before resolving and serving the requested file. An authenticated attacker with admin privileges can use this vulnerability to read contents of files located in the sibling directory of the webroot via a crafted HTTP request containing ../ sequences in the URI. The vendor assessed the likelihood of exploitation as very low and determined that a fix is not necessary.

Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Erlang OTP (stdlib zip module) allows writing files outside the intended extraction directory via a crafted zip archive. zip:unzip/1,2 and zip:extract/1,2 validate entry paths using zip:check_dir_level/2, which tracks directory depth as a running integer counter: .. decrements it, normal path components increment it. The caller rejects only paths where the final counter value is less than zero. A path such as ../x/y causes the counter to go negative mid-traversal then recover to zero, passing validation while resolving to a location outside the extraction directory when joined with the current working directory via add_cwd. This vulnerability is associated with program file lib/stdlib/src/zip.erl. This issue affects OTP from OTP 27.1 before OTP 29.0.4, OTP 28.5.0.4 and OTP 27.3.4.15, corresponding to stdlib from 6.1 before 8.0.3, 7.3.0.1 and 6.2.2.4.

The WP Foodbakery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'delete_locations_backup_file_callback' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.9. 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).
