DescriptionCVE.org

libks provides foundational support for signalwire C products. Prior to version 2.0.11, clean_uri() in libks's HTTP request parser fails to reject URIs whose path has more segments than its internal canonicalization buffer can hold. The canonicalization step silently passes such URIs through with embedded ".." sequences intact, enabling path traversal in any consumer that later joins the URI with a filesystem path. Version 2.0.11 patches the issue.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in SignalWire's libks HTTP request parser exposes consumers to arbitrary file read. The clean_uri() function fails to reject oversized URI paths - when the path contains more segments than the internal canonicalization buffer accommodates, embedded .. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No authentication is required and no special client state is needed - the vulnerability is reachable via any HTTP request processed by a libks-based application. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N places this firmly in the remotely exploitable, zero-friction category - no credentials, no user interaction, and no special network position required. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade libks to version 2.0.11, which patches `clean_uri()` to reject URIs whose path segment count exceeds the internal canonicalization buffer capacity. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all applications and systems using SignalWire's libks and confirm versions deployed across production and development environments. …
