High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-75914

NVD analysis in progress

CodeWhale versions before 0.8.64 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the image_analyze tool that fails to canonicalize symlinks before reading files. Attackers can create workspace symlinks pointing to external files with image extensions to leak file bytes to the vision endpoint without user approval.

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.
