CVE-2026-42598 Details
Description
Pode is a Cross-Platform PowerShell web framework for creating REST APIs, Web Sites, and TCP/SMTP servers. From 2.4.0, to before 2.13.0, when requesting content from a Static Route, it was possible to request paths such as http://localhost:8080/c:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts and have the contents returned. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.13.0.
A directory traversal vulnerability has been identified in Pode versions 2.4.0 prior to 2.13.0. When accessing content from a static route, it was possible to request files outside the intended directory, such as the Windows hosts file, and have their contents returned. This issue arises because the static route handling does not properly validate file paths, allowing for traversal to sensitive system files. The vulnerability's impact is heightened if Pode is run by a user with administrative privileges and is externally accessible.
Users can upgrade to Pode version 2.13.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
