CVE-2026-95272 Details
Description
A vulnerability was found in dgtlmoon changedetection.io up to 0.60.7. This affects the function static_content of the file changedetectionio/flask_app.py of the component Screenshot Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument filename results in path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Changedetection.io versions through 0.60.7. The issue resides in the Screenshot Handler's 'static_content' function within 'changedetectionio/flask_app.py'. The vulnerability arises because the 'filename' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to manipulate the argument and escape the intended directory. This flaw can be exploited remotely, with high complexity, to access screenshot files from other watches or arbitrary filesystem locations.
Users are advised to update to a version of Changedetection.io that addresses this vulnerability. The recommended fix involves sanitizing the 'filename' parameter, adding normalization and base directory validation, and ensuring 'send_from_directory' is used with a safe base directory.
