What is CVE-2026-11416?
CVE-2026-11416 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in jxxghp MoviePilot, published on 5 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
MoviePilot contains a path traversal vulnerability in the AliPan, U115, and Rclone cloud storage download handlers where the local destination path is constructed by concatenating the configured download directory with a filename taken directly from remote cloud API metadata without basename normalization or path validation. An attacker who controls a filename returned by a remote cloud storage API can include traversal sequences ../ in the filename to cause downloaded content to be written outside the configured download directory, potentially overwriting arbitrary files including configuration or plugin files reachable by the application process.
Weakness: CWE-22
