Path Traversal

web HIGH

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.

How It Works

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation. Attackers inject special sequences like ../ (dot-dot-slash) to escape the intended directory and navigate to arbitrary locations in the file system. Each ../ sequence moves up one directory level, allowing an attacker to break out of a restricted folder and access sensitive files elsewhere on the server.

Attackers employ various encoding techniques to bypass basic filters. Simple URL encoding transforms ../ into %2e%2e%2f, while double encoding becomes %252e%252e%252f (encoding the percent sign itself). Other evasion methods include nested sequences like ....// (which become ../ after filter removal), null byte injection (%00 to truncate path validation), and OS-specific path separators (backslashes on Windows). Absolute paths like /etc/passwd may also work if the application doesn't enforce relative path constraints.

The typical attack flow begins with identifying input parameters that reference files—such as file=, path=, template=, or page=. The attacker then tests various traversal payloads to determine if path validation exists and what depth is needed to reach system files. Success means reading configuration files, credentials, source code, or even writing malicious files if the application allows file uploads or modifications.

Impact

  • Credential exposure: Access to configuration files containing database passwords, API keys, and authentication tokens
  • Source code disclosure: Reading application code reveals business logic, additional vulnerabilities, and hardcoded secrets
  • System file access: Retrieving /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or Windows SAM files for credential cracking
  • Configuration tampering: If write access exists, attackers modify settings or inject malicious code
  • Remote code execution: Writing web shells or executable files to web-accessible directories enables full system compromise

Real-World Examples

ZendTo file sharing application (CVE-2025-34508) contained a path traversal vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the server. The flaw existed in file retrieval functionality where user input directly influenced file path construction without adequate validation, exposing sensitive configuration data and potentially system files.

Web application frameworks frequently suffer from path traversal in template rendering engines. When applications allow users to specify template names or include files, insufficient validation permits attackers to read source code from other application modules or framework configuration files, revealing database credentials and session secrets.

File download features in content management systems represent another common vector. Applications that serve user-requested files from disk often fail to restrict paths properly, enabling attackers to download backup files, logs containing sensitive data, or administrative scripts that weren't intended for public access.

Mitigation

  • Avoid user input in file paths: Use indirect references like database IDs mapped to filenames on the server side
  • Canonicalize and validate: Convert paths to absolute canonical form, then verify they remain within the allowed base directory
  • Allowlist permitted files: Maintain an explicit list of accessible files rather than trying to blocklist malicious patterns
  • Chroot jails or sandboxing: Restrict application file system access to specific directories at the OS level
  • Strip dangerous sequences: Remove ../, ..\\, and encoded variants, though this alone is insufficient

Path traversal in PraisonAI's recipe registry publish endpoint allows authenticated users with publish access to write arbitrary files outside the configured registry root. The vulnerability affects the pip package 'praisonai' and stems from trusting attacker-controlled manifest.json name/version fields before validation, enabling directory traversal sequences like '../../' to bypass intended storage boundaries. While the malicious publish request returns HTTP 400, the out-of-bounds file write persists on disk. EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.06%, 18th percentile) with no active exploitation reported. Vendor patch available in version 4.5.113.

Arbitrary file write in PraisonAI's recipe registry allows malicious publishers to overwrite files outside intended directories when victims pull recipes. Affects all users pulling recipes from shared or untrusted registries via both local and HTTP transports. The vulnerability stems from unsafe tar.extractall() calls that process attacker-controlled path traversal sequences (../) embedded in .praison bundle archives. Exploitation requires low-privilege publisher access and user interaction (victim must pull the malicious recipe), but no special client configuration. EPSS score of 0.04% suggests low automated exploitation probability, though a working proof-of-concept exists demonstrating file creation outside victim-selected output directories.

The mobile_save_screenshot and mobile_start_screen_recording tools accept user-controlled saveTo and output parameters that are passed directly to Node.js filesystem operations without sanitization, enabling attackers to overwrite critical system files (e.g., ~/.bashrc, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys) via prompt injection attacks. Affects versions prior to 0.0.49. Publicly available exploit code exists (functional Python PoC provided in disclosure). EPSS data not available, but the combination of network attack vector, low complexity (CVSS AC:L), and weaponized exploit code warrants immediate patching for systems running this MCP server.

Arbitrary file write vulnerability in an API endpoint (POST /api/v2/files) enables authenticated remote attackers to overwrite critical system files or place malicious executables in startup directories through unvalidated filename parameters containing path traversal sequences. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (High) with network-accessible attack vector requiring low-level privileges and no user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the straightforward nature of path traversal exploitation increases risk. Research disclosed by Tenable Security Research (TRA-2026-26).
