Unauthenticated file disclosure via traversal sequences
Published Feb 12, 2026 · Updated Feb 12, 2026
Path traversal in Bullwark Momentum Series JAWS 1.0 allows remote attackers to read system files through crafted HTTP request paths. The JAWS request handler accepts repeated ../ segments in a GET path and resolves them outside the web root without constraining the resulting filesystem path. No authentication or user interaction is required; a single network request discloses files readable by the embedded server, including /etc/passwd.
