Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Roxy-WI and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality of the file /config//show of the component API Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument configver with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-24. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize "../" sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Roxy-WI is a web interface for managing Haproxy, Nginx, Apache and Keepalived servers. Prior to version 8.2.6.4, the POST /config//show API endpoint accepts a configver parameter that is directly appended to a base directory path to construct a local file path, which is subsequently opened and its contents returned to the caller. The existing path traversal guard only inspects the base directory variable (which is never user-controlled) and entirely ignores the user-supplied configver value. An authenticated attacker can supply a configver value containing `../` sequences to escape the intended directory and read arbitrary files accessible to the web application process. Version 8.2.6.4 contains a patch for the issue.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-33431 since 03/19/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1006 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 8.2.6.4 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch d4d100067dd0ee04317f05d3b51be8fcfdc3f802 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at github.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
