CVE-2026-59149 PUBLISHED

Mockoon: Path traversal in templated `filePath` lets a request escape the served directory (prefix-only base check)

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 02.07.2026 Published: 09.07.2026 Updated: 09.07.2026

Mockoon provides way to design and run mock APIs. Prior to 9.7.0, a FILE response whose filePath embeds request data is confined by getSafeFilePath in packages/commons-server/src/libs/server/server.ts with resolvedPath.startsWith(staticBaseDir). That prefix test has no path-separator boundary, so a ../-escaped path whose absolute form string-prefixes the base directory passes, allowing an unauthenticated client to read files from sibling paths outside the served directory through HTTP sendFile, WebSocket, or callbacks. This issue is fixed in version 9.7.0.
