Title

Static Web Server is vulnerable to symbolic link Path Traversal

Summary

Static Web Server (SWS) is a production-ready web server suitable for static web files or assets. Versions 2.40.0 and below contain symbolic links (symlinks) which can be used to access files or directories outside the intended web root folder. SWS generally does not prevent symlinks from escaping the web server’s root directory. Therefore, if a malicious actor gains access to the web server’s root directory, they could create symlinks to access other files outside the designated web root folder either by URL or via the directory listing. This issue is fixed in version 2.40.1.

Severity

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-08 22:18 – Updated: 2025-12-09 19:17

Summary

Static Web Server vulnerable to a symbolic link path traversal

Details

Summary

Symbolic links (symlinks) could be used to access files or directories outside the intended web root folder.

Details

SWS generally does not prevent symlinks from escaping the web server’s root directory. Therefore, if a malicious actor gains access to the web server’s root directory, they could create symlinks to access other files outside the designated web root folder either by URL or via the directory listing.

PoC

Serve a directory (web root) with SWS.
Create a symlink inside the web root that points to a file outside the web root. e.g. ln -s escape.txt $HOME/.bashrc
Open http://localhost/escape.txt in your browser.
The file content will be served.

Impact

Any web server that runs with elevated privileges (e.g., root/administrator) and handles user-supplied file uploads is primarily impacted.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

  "details": "### Summary\n\nSymbolic links (_symlinks_) could be used to access files or directories outside the intended web root folder.\n\n### Details\n\nSWS generally does not prevent symlinks from escaping the web server\u2019s root directory. Therefore, if a malicious actor gains access to the web server\u2019s root directory, they could create symlinks to access other files outside the designated web root folder either by URL or via the directory listing.\n\n### PoC\n\n- Serve a directory (web root) with SWS.\n- Create a symlink inside the web root that points to a file outside the web root.\n  e.g. `ln -s escape.txt $HOME/.bashrc`\n- Open `http://localhost/escape.txt` in your browser.\n- The file content will be served.\n\n### Impact\n\nAny web server that runs with elevated privileges (e.g., root/administrator) and handles user-supplied file uploads is primarily impacted.",

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
