• CVE-2026-25059: 0.65% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 51.23 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary The application contains a Path Traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in multiple file operation handlers. An authenticated attacker can bypass directory-level authorisation by injecting traversal sequences into filename components, enabling unauthorised file removal and copying across user boundaries within the same storage mount. Details The application contains a Path Traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in multiple file operation handlers in server/handles/fsmanage.go. Filename components in req.Names are directly concatenated with validated directories using stdpath.Join. This allows ".." sequences to bypass path restrictions, enabling users to access other users' files within the same storage mount and perform unauthorized actions such as deletion, renaming, or copying of files. FsRemove: ~~~ func FsRemove(c gin.Context) { // ... for , name := range req.Names { err := fs.Remove(c, stdpath.Join(reqDir, name)) ~~~ FsCopy: ~~~ func FsCopy(c gin.Context) { // ... if !req.Overwrite {…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-25059

Advisory: OpenList vulnerable to Path Traversal in file copy and remove handlers
IDs: CVE-2026-25059, GHSA-qmj2-8r24-xxcq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-25059 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:14 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/OpenListTeam/OpenList/v4 4.1.10. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/OpenListTeam/OpenList/v4: affected < 4.1.10; fixed in 4.1.10

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/OpenListTeam/OpenList/v4: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/OpenListTeam/OpenList/v4.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qmj2-8r24-xxcq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-qmj2-8r24-xxcq lists affected ranges: Go github.com/OpenListTeam/OpenList/v4 >=0 <4.1.10)
