CVE-2026-72572 in xmysql
Summary
by MITRE • 08/10/2026
A path traversal vulnerability in o1lab/xmysql (all versions) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read and download arbitrary files from the server. The lib/xapi.js file at lines 338 and 424 uses the user-controlled req.query.name parameter in path.join(cwd, name) without sanitization before passing it to res.download(), enabling directory traversal via ../ sequences to access sensitive system files.
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
