Details

A vulnerability in allegroai/clearml versions up to and including 1.16.5 allows for relative path traversal when extracting .zip archives using the ZipFile.extractall() method in StorageManager._extract_to_cache(). This issue arises due to the lack of path traversal validation, enabling an attacker to write arbitrary files to the filesystem. Attack vectors include dataset downloads, artifact downloads, model downloads, and offline session imports. The vulnerability can lead to remote code execution through methods such as cron job injection, SSH key overwrite, or web shell deployment. The issue is resolved in version 2.1.6.

Summary
NiceGUI allows potential access to local file system
Details

NiceGUI is an easy-to-use, Python-based UI framework. A local file inclusion is present in the NiceUI leaflet component when requesting resource files under the /_nicegui/{__version__}/resources/{key}/{path:path} route.

As a result any file on the backend filesystem which the web server has access to can be read by an attacker with access to the NiceUI leaflet website.

This vulnerability has been addressed in version 1.4.21. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-20 20:51 – Updated: 2026-03-27 20:59
VLAI
Summary
Ory Oathkeeper has a path traversal authorization bypass
Details

Description

Ory Oathkeeper is vulnerable to an authorization bypass via HTTP path traversal. An attacker can craft a URL containing path traversal sequences (e.g. /public/../admin/secrets) that resolves to a protected path after normalization, but is matched against a permissive rule because the raw, un-normalized path is used during rule evaluation.

Preconditions

Ory Oathkeeper rules are typically configured with patterns like:

/public/<.*>   → allow unauthenticated access
/admin/<.*>    → require authentication

Without path normalization, a request to /public/../admin/secrets is matched against the raw path /public/../admin/secrets. This matches the /public/<.*> rule, bypassing the authentication required for /admin/secrets. After Ory Oathkeeper permits the request, the upstream server normalizes the path and serves the protected /admin/secrets resource.

Mitigation

Going forward, Ory Oathkeeper normalizes the request path before performing rule matching and before forwarding. The path /public/../admin/secrets is normalized to /admin/secrets, which correctly matches the /admin/<.*> rule and triggers authentication.

As an immediate mitigation, all requests reaching Oathkeeper should be normalized, as described in the section below. Oathkeeper should be upgraded to a fixed version as soon as possible.

Defense in depth: Cleaning paths before Oathkeeper

Even after this fix, it is good practice to normalize HTTP paths in the layers in front of Oathkeeper. This provides defense in depth and protects against similar bypasses in other components. The following examples show how to achieve this with common reverse proxies and CDNs.

Nginx

Nginx normalizes paths by default when using proxy_pass. Alternatively, use $uri (which Nginx normalizes) rather than $request_uri in your matching rules.

Envoy

Enable the normalize_path option (available since Envoy 1.14) to normalize the path components before matching and forwarding. See the Envoy docs on path normalization.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare normalizes URLs by default. In the Cloudflare dashboard, ensure Normalize incoming URLs is enabled under Rules → Normalization. See the Cloudflare URL normalization docs.

An attacker can craft a URL containing path traversal sequences (e.g. `/public/../admin/secrets`) that resolves to a protected path after normalization, but is matched against a permissive rule because the raw, un-normalized path is used during rule evaluation.\n\n## Preconditions\n\nOry Oathkeeper rules are typically configured with patterns like:\n\n```\n/public/\u003c.*\u003e   \u2192 allow unauthenticated access\n/admin/\u003c.*\u003e    \u2192 require authentication\n```\n\nWithout path normalization, a request to `/public/../admin/secrets` is matched against the raw path `/public/../admin/secrets`. This matches the `/public/\u003c.*\u003e` rule, bypassing the authentication required for `/admin/secrets`. After Ory Oathkeeper permits the request, the upstream server normalizes the path and serves the protected `/admin/secrets` resource.\n\n## Mitigation\n\nGoing forward, Ory Oathkeeper normalizes the request path before performing rule matching and before forwarding. The path `/public/../admin/secrets` is normalized to `/admin/secrets`, which correctly matches the `/admin/\u003c.*\u003e` rule and triggers authentication.\n\nAs an immediate mitigation, all requests reaching Oathkeeper should be normalized, as described in the section below. Oathkeeper should be upgraded to a fixed version as soon as possible.\n\n## Defense in depth: Cleaning paths before Oathkeeper\n\nEven after this fix, it is good practice to normalize HTTP paths in the layers in front of Oathkeeper. This provides defense in depth and protects against similar bypasses in other components. The following examples show how to achieve this with common reverse proxies and CDNs.\n\n### Nginx\n\nNginx normalizes paths by default when using `proxy_pass`. Alternatively, use `$uri` (which Nginx normalizes) rather than `$request_uri` in your matching rules.\n\n### Envoy\n\nEnable the `normalize_path` option (available since Envoy 1.14) to normalize the path components before matching and forwarding.

In the Cloudflare dashboard, ensure **Normalize incoming URLs** is enabled under **Rules \u2192 Normalization**.\nSee the \u003ca href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/normalization/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCloudflare URL normalization docs\u003c/a\u003e.",

Details

Fedora Repository 3.8.1 allows path traversal when extracting uploaded archives ("Zip Slip"). A remote, authenticated attacker can upload a specially crafted archive that will extract an arbitrary JSP file to a location that can be executed by an unauthenticated GET request. Fedora Repository 3.8.1 was released on 2015-06-11 and is no longer maintained. Migrate to a currently supported version (6.5.1 as of 2025-01-23).

Mitigation MIT-5.1
Implementation

Strategy: Input Validation

  • Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
  • When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
  • Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
  • When validating filenames, use stringent allowlists that limit the character set to be used. If feasible, only allow a single "." character in the filename to avoid weaknesses such as CWE-23, and exclude directory separators such as "/" to avoid CWE-36. Use a list of allowable file extensions, which will help to avoid CWE-434.
  • Do not rely exclusively on a filtering mechanism that removes potentially dangerous characters. This is equivalent to a denylist, which may be incomplete (CWE-184). For example, filtering "/" is insufficient protection if the filesystem also supports the use of "\" as a directory separator. Another possible error could occur when the filtering is applied in a way that still produces dangerous data (CWE-182). For example, if "../" sequences are removed from the ".../...//" string in a sequential fashion, two instances of "../" would be removed from the original string, but the remaining characters would still form the "../" string.
Mitigation MIT-20.1
Implementation

Strategy: Input Validation

  • Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
  • Use a built-in path canonicalization function (such as realpath() in C) that produces the canonical version of the pathname, which effectively removes ".." sequences and symbolic links (CWE-23, CWE-59). This includes:
  • realpath() in C
  • getCanonicalPath() in Java
  • GetFullPath() in ASP.NET
  • realpath() or abs_path() in Perl
  • realpath() in PHP
Mitigation MIT-29
Operation

Strategy: Firewall

Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth [REF-1481].

CAPEC-139: Relative Path Traversal

An attacker exploits a weakness in input validation on the target by supplying a specially constructed path utilizing dot and slash characters for the purpose of obtaining access to arbitrary files or resources. An attacker modifies a known path on the target in order to reach material that is not available through intended channels. These attacks normally involve adding additional path separators (/ or \) and/or dots (.), or encodings thereof, in various combinations in order to reach parent directories or entirely separate trees of the target's directory structure.

CAPEC-76: Manipulating Web Input to File System Calls

An attacker manipulates inputs to the target software which the target software passes to file system calls in the OS. The goal is to gain access to, and perhaps modify, areas of the file system that the target software did not intend to be accessible.
