## What is CVE-2026-55224?

CVE-2026-55224 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in MineAdmin, published on 30 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

MineAdmin is a ready-to-use backend management system suitable for quickly building website backends, operation platforms, permission centers, internal management systems, CMS, CRM, OA, ERP and other business applications. Prior to version 3.2.0-alpha.2, the app-store plugin service concatenates unsanitized user-supplied identifier values directly into file system paths. An attacker can use path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to read, install, or uninstall plugins from arbitrary directories, and potentially execute arbitrary composer commands. This issue has been patched in version 3.2.0-alpha.2.

Weakness: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-55224 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-55224 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in MineAdmin, published on 30 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-55224 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- mineadmin/mineadmin (Packagist): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.0-alpha.2
- mineadmin/mineadmin (Packagist): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.0-alpha.2

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.
