Administrator path traversal via log path creation
Published Feb 25, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Path traversal in CodeManas Search with Typesense 2.0.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to create paths outside its log directory. The log file and folder creation flow accepts a path component without first reducing it to a basename, so traversal sequences escape the intended directory. Administrator-level WordPress access is required; public sources identify no affected request parameter or consequence beyond filesystem path traversal.

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.
