CVE-2026-52756 Details
Description
Ghidra before 12.2 contains an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in the IsfServer that accepts TCP connections and passes client-supplied namespace strings directly to filesystem operations without validation. Remote attackers can connect to port 54321 and send crafted protobuf messages with traversal sequences to enumerate filesystem paths and probe arbitrary files.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Ghidra versions prior to 12.2. This vulnerability exists in the IsfServer component, which accepts unauthenticated TCP connections on port 54321.
