Authenticated file disclosure via policy YAML includes
Published Jul 15, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Path traversal in CyberArk Conjur products allows remote authenticated users to read server files through crafted policy YAML. The policy YAML parser resolves attacker-supplied !include references during policy loading without restricting them to an allowed directory, then inserts the referenced server file into the processed policy. Policy-loading permission is required; exploitation discloses local file contents and directory structure without modifying data or interrupting the service.

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.
- Affected versionversion=Conjur OSS < 1.22.1
- Affected versionversion=Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly known as Conjur Enterprise) < 13.5.1
- Affected versionversion=Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly known as Conjur Enterprise) = 13.6
