FKIE_CVE-2026-52902

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-06-09 10:16 - Updated: 2026-08-24 21:17
Severity
4.7 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
A path traversal vulnerability was found in awxkit, the CLI tool for AWX. The YAML !include directive does not sanitize file paths, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious YAML file that reads arbitrary YAML-formatted files from the local filesystem when a user imports it using "awx --conf.format yaml import". This is a client-side vulnerability requiring user interaction.
