CVE-2026-120444 Details
Description
GoFound through 1.4.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary directories by supplying ../ sequences in the database parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to /api/db/create and /api/db/drop, directly or via a victim's browser, triggering os.RemoveAll on directories outside the data directory.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in GoFound versions through 1.4.1. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary directories by exploiting the database parameter with ../ sequences. The issue arises because the database parameter is not properly validated and is directly used to create a filesystem path for database operations. Attackers can send GET requests to the /api/db/create and /api/db/drop endpoints, either directly or through a victim's browser, which triggers the deletion of the specified directories using os.RemoveAll.
