Unauthenticated file read via sibling-prefix traversal
Published May 29, 2026 · Updated May 29, 2026
Path traversal in Hanxi XiaoMusic before 0.5.8 allows remote attackers to read files from sibling directories through the music route. The GET /music/{file_path:path} handler normalizes the requested path but tests containment with startswith(music_path) without a trailing separator, so a sibling such as music_private passes the prefix check. Default-disabled HTTP authentication exposes the route without credentials; disclosure is limited to existing readable files in sibling paths sharing that prefix.
