High CVSS 7.5
CVE-2026-72572
NVD analysis in progress
A path traversal vulnerability in o1lab/xmysql (all versions) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read and download arbitrary files from the server. The lib/xapi.js file at lines 338 and 424 uses the user-controlled req.query.name parameter in path.join(cwd, name) without sanitization before passing it to res.download, enabling directory traversal via ../ sequences to access sensitive system files.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data.
- Weakness
- An attacker-supplied file path is not confined, letting them read or write outside the intended folder.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
