## What is CVE-2026-54204?

CVE-2026-54204 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid, published on 7 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid's Webbox 's search functionality accepts a “pathnameroot” 
parameter, which can be set to network locations using UNC paths (e.g., 
“\\Server\Share”). The server processes these paths without validation, 
resulting in outbound connection attempts to attacker-controlled SMB 
servers. This enables unauthenticated attackers to trigger the server to
 authenticate to arbitrary SMB endpoints, potentially exposing NTLM 
authentication information (such as NTLM hashes). If outbound 
connections to port 445 (SMB) are permitted, attackers can use this to 
conduct SMB relay or credential theft attacks. Exploitation of the 
“pathnameroot” parameter is possible without authentication.This issue affects TeamDavid before Rollout 528.

Starting with Rollout 528 (June 30, 2026), the affected functionality is disabled by default and the vulnerabilities are therefore no longer exposed through this functionality.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-54204 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-54204 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid, published on 7 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-54204 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
