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.

Severity
  • CVSS Score: 8.6 / 10 (High)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L

CVE-2026-40347

Summary

A denial of service vulnerability exists when parsing crafted multipart/form-data requests with large preamble or epilogue sections.

Details

Two inefficient multipart parsing paths could be abused with attacker-controlled input.

Before the first multipart boundary, the parser handled leading CR and LF bytes inefficiently while searching for the start of the first part. After the closing boundary, the parser continued processing trailing epilogue data instead of discarding it immediately. As a result, parsing time could grow with the size of crafted data placed before the first boundary or after the closing boundary.

Impact

An attacker can send oversized malformed multipart bodies that consume excessive CPU time during request parsing, reducing request-handling capacity and delaying legitimate requests. This issue degrades availability but does not typically result in a complete denial of service for the entire application.

Mitigation

Upgrade to version 0.0.26 or later, which skips ahead to the next boundary candidate when processing leading CR/LF data and immediately discards epilogue data after the closing boundary.

Severity
  • CVSS Score: 5.3 / 10 (Medium)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
