Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-88938 exists.\n\nAffected product: knowns-dev knowns. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2026-88938/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88938/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-88938","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88938/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-88938","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5cj9-fcqq-g2h7","GHSA-629c-j52g-h978"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"knowns MCP tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read arbitrary files on the host by supplying malicious paths to the code.find MCP tool in knowns.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"knowns through 0.33.0 fails to confine the path argument of the code.find MCP tool to the project root, allowing AI agent sessions to read source files anywhere on the host.
