FKIE_CVE-2026-53779
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-06-22 19:17 - Updated: 2026-06-23 15:42
Severity
Summary
WebP Server Go through 0.14.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability on Windows that allows unauthenticated attackers to read files outside the configured IMG_PATH directory by sending requests with percent-encoded backslashes (%5C) that bypass the path.Clean() sanitization in handler/router.go. Attackers can exploit the discrepancy between Go's forward-slash-only path normalization and Windows file system APIs that treat backslashes and forward slashes as equivalent to access arbitrary files on the host filesystem accessible to the server process.
