GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2026-24486

Summary

A Path Traversal vulnerability exists when using non-default configuration options UPLOAD_DIR and UPLOAD_KEEP_FILENAME=True. An attacker can write uploaded files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem by crafting a malicious filename.

Details

When UPLOAD_DIR is set and UPLOAD_KEEP_FILENAME is True, the library constructs the file path using os.path.join(file_dir, fname). Due to the behavior of os.path.join(), if the filename begins with a /, all preceding path components are discarded:

os.path.join("/upload/dir", "/etc/malicious") == "/etc/malicious"

This allows an attacker to bypass the intended upload directory and write files to arbitrary paths.

Affected Configuration

Projects are only affected if all of the following are true:

  • UPLOAD_DIR is set
  • UPLOAD_KEEP_FILENAME is set to True
  • The uploaded file exceeds MAX_MEMORY_FILE_SIZE (triggering a flush to disk)

The default configuration is not vulnerable.

Impact

Arbitrary file write to attacker-controlled paths on the filesystem.

Mitigation

Upgrade to version 0.0.22, or avoid using UPLOAD_KEEP_FILENAME=True in project configurations.
