Summary

CVE-2026-7594 is a medium-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 35th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as AI Agent Protocols and Integrations; in the Supply Chain and Deployment risk domain.

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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-7594 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in Flux159 mcp-game-asset-gen version 0.1.0. The issue affects the image_to_3d_async function within the src/index.ts file of the MCP Interface component, where manipulation of the statusFile argument enables traversal outside intended directories.

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to exploit it over the network with low complexity, requiring no privileges or user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, score 7.3). Successful exploitation can result in limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized file reads, modifications, or disruptions via path traversal.

Advisories from VulDB and the project's GitHub repository indicate the vulnerability was reported early via issue #3, but the maintainers have not responded or issued patches. No mitigations or fixes are currently available, and users should monitor the repository for updates.

The exploit is public and may be used in attacks, with details available through VulDB entries and the GitHub issue.

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.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

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.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

finds

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
