Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
Roxy-WI is a web interface for managing Haproxy, Nginx, Apache and Keepalived servers. In versions 8.2.6.4 and prior, ommit d4d10006 ("Expand validation to block .. in config_file_name and configver for improved security") added a line in app/modules/config/config.py:462. This is tuple-membership, not substring containment - '..' in (a, b, c) evaluates to True only if any of a, b, c is equal to the literal string '..'. For any realistic path-traversal payload (../../etc/passwd, ..\\..\\etc\\passwd, etc.) the check returns False and the patch silently lets the payload through. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior allows authenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary configuration files via the config_file_name and configver parameters. The vendor's attempted fix in commit d4d10006 is ineffective due to a logic error - it uses Python tuple-membership instead of substring containment - leaving all realistic '../' payloads unblocked, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session on Roxy-WI (CVSS PR:L) with permission to invoke the show_config handler, and network reachability to the management web interface. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, score 8.1) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that requires only low privileges and no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality and integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with any valid low-privilege Roxy-WI account - for example a junior operator or a compromised CI user - sends a request to the show_config endpoint with config_file_name set to `../../../../etc/passwd` or `../../etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg`. The broken tuple-membership check returns False, the path is concatenated and read from disk, and the file contents are returned in the response, leaking system credentials, backend secrets, or HAProxy/Nginx configurations containing TLS keys. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the published commit d4d10006 contains a logic bug and does not block traversal sequences. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
