CVE-2026-79983Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Out-of-directory file access via unchecked listing paths

Published Oct 19, 2026 · Updated Oct 19, 2026

Path traversal in Apache Camel's FTP component allows remote attackers to access files outside the polled directory via crafted listings. FtpUtils.absoluteFilePath and GenericFileConsumer concatenate server-supplied names without normalization or containment checks, then use the paths for remote file operations. Malicious servers or man-in-the-middle attackers on plaintext FTP trigger reads using endpoint credentials; deletion and renaming require disposition options, and server account confinement bounds the impact.
