Arbitrary file read via unnormalized request URI
Published May 19, 2026 · Updated May 19, 2026
Path traversal in gohttp 0.0.0-20170713062009-34ea516ae408 and earlier allows remote attackers to read files via crafted HTTP requests. FileServer concatenates Webroot with the untrusted request URI without path normalization or enforcement of the Webroot boundary. No authentication or user interaction is required; access is limited to files and directory listings readable by the gohttp process.
