CVE-2026-74033Public exploitHinoki check available

File disclosure and deletion via unchecked CDB paths

Published Oct 13, 2026 · Updated Oct 13, 2026

Path traversal in Wazuh manager CDB handlers before 4.14.8 allows attackers to read or delete master files via cluster RPC. The get_lists() and delete_list_file() handlers construct paths from supplied filenames without enforcing containment within the CDB lists directory. Exploitation requires control of a cluster worker and bypasses REST validation and RBAC; full disclosure requires colon-delimited content, other files expose an existence/readability oracle, and deletion is limited to the Wazuh installation tree.
