Summary

Zoraxy: Authenticated Path Traversal in Config Import leads to RCE

Details

Authenticated Path Traversal to RCE via Configuration Import

Summary

An authenticated path traversal vulnerability in the configuration import endpoint allows an authenticated user to write arbitrary files outside the config directory, which can lead to RCE by creating a plugin.

Details

The vulnerable endpoint is POST /api/conf/import.

The zip entry names sanitization is bypassed by embedding ../ inside a longer sequence so the replacement produces a new ../:

conf/..././..././entrypoint.py
  → ReplaceAll("../", "")  (match found at index 1 of "..././", leaving "../")
  → conf/../../entrypoint.py   ← passes HasPrefix check, escapes conf/

Using this endpoint, a new plugin can be written (persistent) and the entrypoint (non-persistent) can be edited to add execution permissions to the plugin. When the database is provided in the import, the program should exit to trigger a container restart (which does not happen because the entrypoint does not monitor the Zoraxy exit code). As a result, the container was manually restarted for the PoC to work.

Impact

Arbitrary file write leads to RCE by an authenticated user. Given that the Docker socket might be mapped, this issue can lead to full host takeover.

CVE-2026-33529 (GCVE-0-2026-33529)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-26 19:26 – Updated: 2026-03-27 19:48

Title

Zoraxy: Authenticated Path Traversal in Config Import leads to RCE

Summary

Zoraxy is a general purpose HTTP reverse proxy and forwarding tool. Prior to version 3.3.2, an authenticated path traversal vulnerability in the configuration import endpoint allows an authenticated user to write arbitrary files outside the config directory, which can lead to RCE by creating a plugin. Version 3.3.2 patches the issue.

Severity ?

3.3 (Low)
