CVE-2026-45224 Details
Description
Crabbox before 0.9.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the Islo provider's workspace path resolution that allows attackers to supply absolute or relative paths that resolve outside the intended /workspace directory. Attackers can craft a malicious .crabbox.yaml or crabbox.yaml file with traversal sequences to cause arbitrary file deletion and overwrite when sync.delete is enabled, as the workspace preparation logic executes rm -rf and mkdir -p operations on the resolved path without proper validation.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Crabbox versions prior to 0.9.0, specifically within the Islo provider's workspace path resolution. This vulnerability allows attackers to provide absolute or relative paths that escape the intended '/workspace' directory. By crafting a malicious '.crabbox.yaml' or 'crabbox.yaml' file with traversal sequences, attackers can manipulate the workspace preparation logic to execute arbitrary file deletions and overwrites, particularly when 'sync.delete' is enabled. The issue arises because the workspace preparation process performs 'rm -rf' and 'mkdir -p' operations on the resolved path without adequate validation.
Users can upgrade to Crabbox version 0.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
