An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-48126 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/xyproto/algernon (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 1.17.8\n- github.com/xyproto/algernon (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 1.17.8\n- github.com/xyproto/algernon (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 1.17.8\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48126/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48126/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-48126","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48126/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-48126","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jc3j-x6pg-4hmv","GO-2026-5460"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Go web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can read arbitrary files and execute Lua code by manipulating the Host header in domain mode, requiring an upgrade to fix.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-644","name":"Improper Neutralization of HTTP Headers for Scripting Syntax"},{"id":"CWE-23","name":"Relative Path Traversal"},{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Algernon is a small self-contained pure-Go web server. Prior to 1.17.8, when algernon is started with --domain (or --letsencrypt, which silently turns on --domain at engine/flags.go:372), the request handler resolves the served directory by joining the configured --dir with the value of the client-supplied Host header. The join is performed by filepath.Join with no validation, so a Host: .. header walks one level above the document root. Subsequent file resolution then exposes everything in that parent directory — arbitrary file read, full directory listing, and, if any .lua file is present, server-side Lua execution.
