CVE-2024-24756Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file read via unnormalized URL paths

Published Feb 1, 2024 · Updated May 15, 2025

Path traversal in Crafatar before 2.1.5 allows remote attackers to read files outside lib/public through crafted URL paths. asset_request joins URL path segments to lib/public and reads the resulting pathname without rejecting parent-directory segments. Exploitation requires direct server access; Cloudflare-fronted instances are unaffected, while Docker deployments expose only container-readable files, which are nonconfidential by default.
