The cohttp package before 6.3.0 for OCaml allows directory traversal.
AnalysisAI
Directory traversal in the cohttp OCaml HTTP library before version 6.3.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files outside the configured document root by supplying percent-encoded path traversal sequences such as ..%2f..%2f in HTTP request URIs. The root cause (CWE-180) is that Cohttp.Path.resolve_local_file validated and stripped . …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target server is built with the cohttp OCaml library (any version before 6.3.0) and uses `Cohttp.Path.resolve_local_file` to map request URIs to local files for serving. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N reflects a high-confidence assessment: network-reachable, no authentication, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact. … 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 cohttp to version 6.3.0 or later via opam (`opam update && opam upgrade cohttp cohttp-mirage`); v6.3.0 was released 2026-08-19 and is confirmed in the upstream CHANGES.md (https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp/pull/1145). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
