An improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') vulnerability in Audio API in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) before 7.2.1-69057-10, 7.2.2-72806-7 and 7.3.2-86009-2 allows remote authenticated users to obtain non-sensitive information.

CVE-2026-939863.1 LOW—
——0rclone before 1.75.1 fails to confine names from server and third-party listing responses to the listed directory, allowing path traversal sequences in object names. Attackers can craft special names containing forward slashes and parent directory references to potentially write outside the destination root, though downstream protections in the local backend currently block actual file escape.11hCVE-2026-852724.3 MED26.6%
——8Open edX Platform enables the authoring and delivery of online learning at any scale. From Aspen.1 until Ulmo and Verawood.1, openedx/core/lib/extract_archive.py uses _is_bad_path to validate safe_extractall targets by comparing resolved path strings with startswith instead of comparing path components. A course author or staff user with course import permission can submit a crafted .tar.gz archive through the import_olx flow initiated by cms.djangoapps.contentstore.views.import_export.import_handler. An archive member can therefore escape into a sibling course staging directory whose name shares the attacker's base64 directory prefix, causing limited cross-tenant file corruption. Zip archives are not practically affected because ZipFile.extractall strips parent traversal segments, and the advisory does not establish arbitrary filesystem writes, file reads, or direct code execution. This issue is fixed in Ulmo and Verawood.1.1dCVE-2026-840867.2 HIG49.8%

——18Caucho Resin contains a path traversal vulnerability in the documentation webapp (resin-doc) that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying a relative path through the inputFile request parameter of the jndi-appconfig tutorial servlet. Attackers can craft requests with directory traversal sequences to the servlet endpoint to read files outside the intended tutorial directory on the underlying system. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2021-12-10.1dCVE-2026-63445—45.4%
——14Perses is an open-source dashboard and visualization project for observability data. Prior to 0.54.0-rc.0, list endpoints used with the file-system database bind the request-controlled project query parameter into the resource Query structure without validating it against directory traversal characters, and the resulting project value is used to select database paths. An authenticated attacker can supply directory traversal segments to leave the intended project directory, read arbitrary YAML or JSON files accessible to the Perses process, and bypass project isolation to enumerate other file-backed resources. This issue is fixed in version 0.54.0-rc.0.1d
