CVE-2026-3112: Arbitrary File Read via Advanced Logging Support Packet

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 19/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.43% (FIRST EPSS).
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
Fixed version: github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.12+incompatible, 11.2.4+incompatible, 11.3.2+incompatible; github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) 10.11.12, 11.2.4, 11.3.2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.12+incompatible, 11.2.4+incompatible, 11.3.2+incompatible; github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) 10.11.12, 11.2.4, 11.3.2 or later.

Weakness class (CWE)

CWE-22 · Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSS vector

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Root cause

A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.

The bug in code

The whole CWE-22 class

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable

1const file = path.join(ROOT, req.query.name);
2res.sendFile(file);

Fixed

1const file = path.resolve(ROOT, req.query.name);
2if (!file.startsWith(ROOT + path.sep)) {
3  return res.sendStatus(400);
