CVE-2026-7234 Details
Description
A weakness has been identified in BrowserOperator browser-operator-core up to 0.6.0. Affected is the function startsWith of the file scripts/component_server/server.js. Executing a manipulation of the argument request.url can lead to path traversal. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in BrowserOperator's browser-operator-core, specifically in version 0.6.0. The issue arises in the component server's script, where the function 'startsWith' improperly handles the 'request.url' argument. This mismanagement allows attackers to manipulate the URL and traverse outside the intended directory, potentially accessing sensitive files. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, and an exploit is publicly available.
No specific remediation is known, but it is advised not to expose the component server to untrusted users and to avoid running it in directories with sensitive files.
