A vulnerability was detected in Flux159 mcp-game-asset-gen 0.1.0. Affected is the function image_to_3d_async of the file src/index.ts of the component MCP Interface. The manipulation of the argument statusFile results in path traversal. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
The Snow Monkey Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'generate_user_dirpath' function in all versions up to, and including, 12.0.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
Docmost is an open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. From 0.21.0 to before 0.24.0, Docmost is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Zip Import Feature (ZipSlip). In apps/server/src/integrations/import/utils/file.utils.ts, there are no validation on filename. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.24.0.
** Disputed ** An Information Disclosure vulnerability in CouchCMS 2.4 allow an Admin user to read arbitrary files via traversing directories back after back. It can Disclosure the source code or any other confidential information if weaponize accordingly. NOTE: A community member states that this is not a CouchCMS vulnerability and that if /\<file> is accessible it is a web-server configuration issue.
In Yonyou YonBIP v3 and before, the LoginWithV8 interface in the series data application service system is vulnerable to path traversal, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information within the system

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Microsoft Defender allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Microsoft Exchange Server allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
An Improper Input Validation in Ivanti EPMM before versions 12.6.1.1, 12.7.0.1, and 12.8.0.1 allows a remotely authenticated user with administrative access to achieve remote code execution.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Zalo plugin's sendPhoto function that fails to validate outbound photo URLs through the SSRF guard. Attackers can bypass SSRF protection by providing malicious photo URLs to the Zalo Bot API, enabling unauthorized access to internal resources.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains an exec allowlist analysis vulnerability allowing shell expansion hiding in unquoted heredoc bodies. Attackers can bypass allowlist validation by embedding shell expansion tokens in heredoc bodies to execute unapproved commands at runtime.
