Summary

CVE-2026-34151 is a high-severity Path Traversal: '../filedir' (CWE-24) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data from Local System (T1005); ranked in the top 37% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

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.

Vulnerability Data

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Prior to 17.10.5 and 18.2.0, the /skin/ action in com.xpn.xwiki.web.SkinAction can resolve double-encoded parent-directory segments outside the intended skin or web-application resource prefix when Jetty 12 or later decodes the request path. The…

affected lookup is replaced with Environment.getResourceAsStream(String, String), which constrains a resource to its expected prefix. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use the vulnerable behavior to read arbitrary resources permitted to the Jetty process, including WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg and, depending on deployment depth and operating-system permissions, host files. Tomcat and Jetty versions before 12 do not appear affected. This issue is fixed in versions 17.10.5 and 18.2.0.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforced access authorizations can limit the damage even when path traversal succeeds.

Input validation directly neutralizes '../' sequences in externally-supplied pathnames before they are resolved.

prevents

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

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path canonicalization that directly block ../ traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal in file-handling functions.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe the specific coding fix.

prevents

Secure coding standards require neutralizing ../ sequences and canonicalizing paths before file operations.

finds

Security testing in development catches path-traversal flaws before release.
