Summary description

Qlik Sense contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to create an anonymous session by sending maliciously crafted HTTP requests. This anonymous session could allow the attacker to send further requests to unauthorized endpoints.

Required action

Apply remediations or mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if remediation or mitigations are unavailable.

CVE-2026-70449—

——0Improper validation of resource URL attributes in Apache Wicket allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read files from the web application, including files under WEB-INF that the servlet container would not otherwise serve. The locale, style and variation attributes decoded from a package resource URL are spliced into the resource lookup path without being checked for path separators. The IPackageResourceGuard — whose rejection of .. is one of the two intended controls — is applied to the resource name before those attributes are appended, and WebApplicationPath rejects only paths literally beginning with WEB-INF/. Neither control ever inspects the attacker-controlled portion of the path. On servlet containers that normalize .. in ServletContext.getResource(), a crafted request therefore escapes the intended package directory. The set of readable files is limited to the file extensions permitted by the configured IPackageResourceGuard. The default SecurePackageResourceGuard permits only js, css, png, jpg, jpeg, gif, ico, cur, map, html, txt, swf, bmp, svg, avif, eot, ttf, woff and woff2, which excludes configuration formats. Applications that have added patterns to the guard, or replaced it with the blocklist-based PackageResourceGuard, can additionally disclose configuration files such as web.xml. Independently of the extension, the lookup performed before the guard runs acts as an existence oracle for arbitrary paths. This issue affects Apache Wicket 8.18.0 and before, 9.23.0 and before and 10.10.0 and before. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 8.19.0, 9.24.0 or 10.11.0, which fix the issue. Users of Apache Wicket 7.x or older, which are no longer supported, should upgrade to a supported version.1h CVE-2026-828776.5 MED

——0ILIAS versions before 9.22, 10.0 through 10.9, and 11.0 through 11.2 contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the SOAP addFile method that allows authenticated users to read server files by supplying crafted XML with COPY-mode imports. Attackers can construct absolute file paths through an unsandboxed import directory and retrieve sensitive files including configuration files containing database credentials and setup passwords.3h CVE-2026-826653.8 LOW

——11A vulnerability was detected in yaojingang GEOFlow up to 2.1.0. This vulnerability affects the function unlink of the file app/Http/Controllers/Admin/ImageLibraryController.php of the component Image Library Cleanup. The manipulation of the argument file_path results in path traversal. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.1.1 is able to resolve this issue. The patch is identified as 67abfd864a15d169a78429f3290c91cb3b93e849. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.5h CVE-2026-82673—

——14Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal) vulnerability in ash-project ash_admin allows writing attacker-controlled bytes to arbitrary paths on the server. AshAdmin.Components.Resource.Form.consume_file_uploads/1 builds the destination as Path.join([tmp_dir, entry.client_name]) and writes it with File.cp!/2. entry.client_name is the browser-supplied filename and is not sanitized, and Path.join/1 does not normalize ... An upload named ../../../../var/www/app/priv/static/x.png therefore escapes the random temp directory and lands anywhere the BEAM user can write, enabling arbitrary file write and potentially remote code execution by overwriting application assets, configuration, or cron/ssh files. The only guard is an extension allowlist defaulting to :any that checks only the extension. The fix strips path components with Path.basename/1 before joining. This issue affects ash_admin: from 0.13.7 before 1.3.1.11h CVE-2026-826035.4 MED
