CVE-2026-33431 is a medium-severity Path Traversal: '../filedir' (CWE-24) vulnerability in Roxy-Wi Roxy-Wi. Its CVSS base score is 5.7 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data from Local System (T1005); ranked at the 32th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
Roxy-WI is a web interface for managing Haproxy, Nginx, Apache and Keepalived servers. Prior to version 8.2.6.4, the POST /config/<service>/show API endpoint accepts a configver parameter that is directly appended to a base directory path to construct a local file…

path, which is subsequently opened and its contents returned to the caller. The existing path traversal guard only inspects the base directory variable (which is never user-controlled) and entirely ignores the user-supplied configver value. An authenticated attacker can supply a configver value containing `../` sequences to escape the intended directory and read arbitrary files accessible to the web application process. Version 8.2.6.4 contains a patch for the issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Input validation directly neutralizes '../' sequences in externally-supplied pathnames before they are resolved.
Enforced access authorizations can limit the damage even when path traversal succeeds.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent ../ traversal.

Secure coding standards require neutralizing ../ sequences and canonicalizing paths before file operations.
Security testing in development catches path-traversal flaws before release.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path canonicalization that directly block ../ traversal.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal in file-handling functions.
Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe the specific coding fix.
Information access restriction limits which files can be reached, mitigating impact of traversal.
