Summary

CVE-2026-33077 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Roxy-Wi Roxy-Wi. Its CVSS base score is 7.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 25.1th 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 are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-33077 is an arbitrary file read vulnerability (CWE-22) in Roxy-WI, a web interface for managing HAProxy, Nginx, Apache, and Keepalived servers. The issue affects versions prior to 8.2.6.4 and stems from insufficient input validation of the oldconfig parameter in the haproxy_section_save interface, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files on the server.

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating it is exploitable over the network with low complexity, no authentication or user interaction required. Unauthenticated remote attackers can leverage this flaw to access sensitive files, potentially exposing configuration data, credentials, or other system information hosted by the Roxy-WI instance.

Mitigation is available in Roxy-WI version 8.2.6.4, which addresses the issue through a targeted fix visible in the project's GitHub commit aecc7971959092fa93e93531f1ffcde33524b031. Additional details are provided in the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-c799-4ww6-q93w. Security practitioners should upgrade to the patched version and review access controls for Roxy-WI deployments.

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.
T1552.001 Credentials In Files Credential Access
Adversaries may search local file systems and remote file shares for files containing insecurely stored credentials.
Why these techniques?

Unauthenticated arbitrary file read in public-facing web app (Roxy-WI) directly enables T1190 for remote exploitation and T1005 for local file access; also facilitates T1552.001 by exposing credential files.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly addresses the insufficient input validation of the oldconfig parameter that enables arbitrary file reads via path traversal.

prevent

Requires timely remediation of the identified flaw by upgrading to the patched version 8.2.6.4, eliminating the vulnerability.

prevent

Enforces access control policies to restrict unauthorized logical access to files, mitigating the arbitrary file read even if input validation fails.
