CVE-2025-22130Network attack vector

Repository takeover via relative-path sanitization failure

Published Jan 8, 2025 · Updated Jan 8, 2025

Path traversal in Charmbracelet Soft Serve before 0.8.2 allows remote authenticated users to take over other users' repositories. SanitizeRepo cleaned an untrusted relative repository name without first anchoring it to an absolute path, preserving leading traversal segments for repository-management paths. Only multi-user deployments that let users create repositories are exposed; an existing non-admin user can modify or delete another user's repository.
