Authenticated file read via unchecked configver path
Published Apr 20, 2026 · Updated Apr 20, 2026
Path traversal in Roxy-WI before 8.2.6.4 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary host files through the config viewer. The show_config function appends the unvalidated configver request value to configs_dir, while its traversal guard checks only the fixed base path before opening the result. Any authenticated role can reach the endpoint, exposing files readable by the web application process.
