CVE-2026-67200 Details
Description
Perspective 5.0.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem by including literal ../ segments in HTTP request URL paths. Attackers can bypass the insufficient query-string-stripping sanitization to traverse outside the configured asset root directory and retrieve sensitive files such as system credentials and application secrets, with results exposed cross-origin due to a wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin header set on all responses.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Perspective version 5.0.0. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem by including literal '../' segments in the HTTP request URL paths. The vulnerability arises from inadequate sanitization of query strings, which can be exploited to traverse outside the designated asset root directory. As a result, sensitive files such as system credentials and application secrets can be accessed. Furthermore, the retrieved data is exposed cross-origin due to a wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin header present in all responses.
