Sandbox escape via canonical path prefix comparison
Published Aug 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Path traversal in jlangch Venice 1.10.16 and earlier allows local users to load files outside configured load paths via absolute paths. LoadPaths.isFileWithinDirectory compares canonical path strings by prefix, so a sibling path whose name begins with an allowed directory name passes the restriction. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access to invoke load-file or load-resource and is limited to prefix-matching sibling paths.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
