Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Authenticated operators in Sliver C2 framework versions prior to 1.6.11 can read arbitrary files on the server through a path traversal vulnerability in the website content subsystem, potentially exposing sensitive credentials, configurations, and cryptographic keys. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability. The issue is resolved in version 1.6.11 and later.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Sliver is a command and control framework that uses a custom Wireguard netstack. Prior to 1.6.11, a path traversal in the website content subsystem lets an authenticated operator read arbitrary files on the Sliver server host. [CVSS 6.5 MEDIUM]
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Fixed in version 1.6.11.. Validate and sanitize file path inputs. Use allowlists. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
