CVE-2026-48789 Details
Description
AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting. Prior to 1.13.0, on Windows, the document folder listing route can accept an encoded absolute Windows path that resolves outside the intended documents directory. The shared path containment helper rejects POSIX-style "../" traversal but does not reject Windows-style parent paths returned by path.relative(), such as "..". This vulnerability is fixed in 1.13.0.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in AnythingLLM versions prior to 1.13.0 on Windows. The issue arises in the document folder listing route, which can be manipulated to accept encoded absolute Windows paths that escape the designated documents directory. While the path containment helper correctly blocks POSIX-style traversal, it fails to reject Windows-style parent paths, such as '..', allowing access to unauthorized directories.
Users are advised to update to AnythingLLM version 1.13.0 or later.
