Description
LubeLogger is a self-hosted, open-source, web-based vehicle maintenance and fuel mileage tracker. Prior to 1.6.8, authenticated non-administrative users could reach HandleTranslationFileUpload and influence the name passed from Controllers/FilesController.cs to RenameFile in Helper/FileHelper.cs. RenameFile constructed newFilePath with string replacement and moved the uploaded file without verifying the resolved absolute path remained under the web root or data directory. A crafted upload name could therefore move an uploaded file outside the intended storage directory, enabling unauthorized file placement or overwrite with the privileges of the application process. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.8.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-62278 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-62278 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-62278. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
