MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated account on the Anagnorisis instance (CVSS PR:L) with access to the file page.html functionality; the attacker then supplies a path-traversal payload to any of the get_file_content, save_file_content, move_files, or start_streaming handlers to escape the intended media directory. Exploitation is remote and needs no user interaction (AV:N/UI:N). Limiting factors: valid credentials are required, the product is a niche self-hosted deployment, and no fixed version is available so only reachable instances with authenticated attackers are at risk. The read handlers enable file disclosure while save/move handlers enable arbitrary file write/relocation. |
| Impact | This is a MEDIUM-severity path traversal (CWE-22) rated CVSS 4.0 5.3 by VulDB, the sole reporting source. The 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, E:P) indicates a remote but authenticated (PR:L) attacker with low complexity achieving low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact across the affected file-handling functions. The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) exploit maturity is corroborated by a publicly available exploit reference (note-hxlab), so publicly available exploit code exists - but this is NOT confirmed active exploitation: there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided. The signals are internally consistent (low-privilege remote traversal, partial impacts, PoC-stage) rather than conflicting. Real-world priority is tempered by two factors: (1) the affected product, volotat Anagnorisis, is an obscure self-hosted OSS media/recommendation app with a tiny deployment footprint, and (2) exploitation requires an authenticated account. One caveat worth verifying: the affected functions include save_file_content and move_files, which are WRITE/MOVE operations - arbitrary file write via traversal can escalate beyond the VulDB-assigned VI:L (potentially to code execution or config overwrite), so the integrity impact may be understated. Overall this is a real but low-urgency issue for the small population actually running Anagnorisis; the vendor did not respond and no fixed version is published, which raises the residual exposure for existing deployments. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege user of an Anagnorisis instance submits a crafted file path containing traversal sequences (e.g. ../../) to the get_file_content, save_file_content, move_files, or start_streaming handlers, causing the server to read, overwrite, move, or stream files outside the intended media directory. A public proof-of-concept exists (note-hxlab reference), lowering the barrier to reproduction. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L, this is a straightforward remote request from any valid account against the file page endpoints. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 24, 2026
Path traversal in volotat Anagnorisis through 0.4.2 allows an authenticated remote attacker to use the get_file_content, save_file_content, move_files, and start_streaming handlers in page.html to escape the intended media directory, enabling limited file disclosure and arbitrary file modification or relocation. The vendor was contacted but did not respond, no fixed version is identified, and publicly available exploit code exists. This is a medium-severity issue (VulDB CVSS 4.0 5.3; independent CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) affecting self-hosted instances where an attacker can obtain valid credentials.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and the vendor did not respond to the disclosure. Until a fix is available, apply compensating controls: restrict access to page.html and the get_file_content, save_file_content, move_files, and start_streaming functionality to trusted authenticated users only, since exploitation requires a valid account; disable or block those endpoints through a reverse proxy if they are not essential, with the side effect of losing file browsing, upload, move, or streaming features. Run Anagnorisis under a dedicated low-privilege account and constrain filesystem permissions so it can read and write only the intended media directory; this limits traversal impact but does not remove the flaw. Consider containerizing with a read-only root filesystem and a narrowly mounted media volume, though legitimate file operations outside that volume will fail. WAF or IPS rules can block common ../ and encoded traversal patterns, but they are bypassable through encoding or path normalization differences and should not be the sole control. Monitor https://vuldb.com/vuln/409322 and https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-97232 for updates, and isolate the instance from sensitive file stores. No exact fix version can be cited because none is provided in the input data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is volotat Anagnorisis, a self-hosted application whose page.html exposes file-handling functions. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:volotat:anagnorisis:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, and the description identifies impact up to 0.4.2. The root cause is CWE-22 path traversal: user-controlled path inputs for get_file_content, save_file_content, move_files, and start_streaming are not sufficiently canonicalized or restricted to the intended media directory, so ../ sequences or absolute paths can reach files outside it. The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P is consistent with remote, authenticated exploitation requiring low complexity and no user interaction; E:P reflects public proof-of-concept exploit code. Read operations lead to file disclosure, while save and move operations lead to arbitrary file write or relocation, but the scored impact is limited.

Remote authenticated user (PR:L) with low complexity performs traversal affecting read and write handlers; partial C/I/A retained per VulDB, though arbitrary write could justify higher integrity impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in volotat Anagnorisis up to 0.4.2. Affected by this vulnerability is the function get_file_content/save_file_content/move_files/start_streaming of the file page.html. This manipulation causes path traversal. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
