Summary
CVE-2026-29065 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Webtechnologies Changedetection. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (T1003.008); ranked at the 48th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2026-29065 is a Zip Slip vulnerability (CWE-22) affecting changedetection.io, a free open source web page change detection tool, in versions prior to 0.54.4. The flaw exists in the backup restore functionality, where path traversal in uploaded ZIP archives enables arbitrary file overwrites. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating critical severity due to high impacts on confidentiality and integrity.
A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by uploading a malicious ZIP archive during the backup restore process. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary file overwrites on the server, potentially leading to full compromise if critical files like configuration or executables are targeted.
The issue has been addressed in version 0.54.4. Mitigation involves upgrading to this patched release, as detailed in the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-25g8-2mcf-fcx9), the specific commit (1d7d812eb0faab37042246e2fbce04f29bb1b3aa), and the release notes.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
