Description PRE-NVD
AnalysisAI
Path traversal vulnerability in Apache Thrift Node.js web_server.js (versions prior to 0.23.0) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files, write to unauthorized locations, and potentially execute code. Disclosed via oss-security mailing list pre-NVD publication. EPSS score of 0.01% indicates low observed exploitation probability despite network-accessible attack vector and no authentication requirement. CISA SSVC framework classifies this as automatable with partial technical impact but no confirmed exploitation. Patch available in version 0.23.0.
Technical ContextAI
Apache Thrift is a cross-language RPC framework supporting multiple programming languages including Node.js, Java, and Rust. This vulnerability affects the Node.js implementation's web_server.js component, classified as CWE-22 (Path Traversal). Path traversal flaws occur when applications use external input to construct file paths without proper validation, allowing attackers to use sequences like '../' to escape intended directories. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-accessible exploitation with low complexity and no privileges required. The multi-vulnerability designation in the oss-security disclosure suggests web_server.js may contain multiple related security issues beyond just path traversal. Affected CPE appears to be Apache Thrift versions 0 through 0.22.x, with fix delivered in 0.23.0.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Apache Thrift to version 0.23.0 or later, which contains vendor-released patches for this vulnerability per EUVD-2026-27245. Consult Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/pgtfq44ltc9t63kxcbqmwqzt45pnhqdy for complete upgrade instructions and changelog. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls specific to path traversal: configure web_server.js to run with minimal filesystem permissions using principle of least privilege, restricting read/write access to only required directories; deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing path traversal sequences (../, ..\ , URL-encoded variants %2e%2e%2f); disable web_server.js component entirely if not required for application functionality; if web server must remain active, place behind reverse proxy with strict path validation and chroot jail to contain filesystem access. Note that input validation alone may be insufficient as attackers use encoding tricks to bypass filters-defense-in-depth with filesystem permissions and containerization provides more reliable protection. Review application logs for historical exploitation attempts showing unusual file access patterns.
