CVE-2026-72713
NVD analysis in progress
XAgent contains a path traversal vulnerability in the workspace file endpoint that allows self-registered or default-credential users to read arbitrary files on the host by supplying parent-directory segments in the `file_name` form field with no path containment check. Attackers can register an account without email verification, then submit crafted `file_name` values such as parent-directory traversal sequences to the `/workspace/file` handler to read host files including application secrets, database credentials, and system files outside the Docker sandbox.
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.
