Directory enumeration via traversal path oracle
Published Jun 4, 2025 · Updated Jun 4, 2025
Information disclosure in FreshRSS before 1.26.2 allows remote attackers to enumerate server directories through crafted ext.php requests. The endpoint resolves attacker-controlled f paths containing dot-dot segments and returns either a file body or a distinct error, creating a directory-existence oracle. The request itself requires no authentication or user interaction, but the published proof of concept needs a known readable extension asset and, for arbitrary directories, the full installation path; the result reveals directory presence rather than arbitrary file contents.

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.
