The api/api.py wiki-cache endpoint constructs file paths from user-controlled owner, repo, and repo_type fields without sanitization, enabling path traversal. A second unauthenticated endpoint creates directories, and combined these primitives allow arbitrary file write and delete as the root process user.","published":"2026-08-10T11:17:29.220","modified":"2026-08-10T11:17:29.220","cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/AsyncFuncAI/deepwiki-open"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/AsyncFuncAI/deepwiki-open/blob/main/api/api.py"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-10T11:17:29.220"}}
