The path confinement check uses `str.startswith()` rather than proper boundary validation, allowing an authenticated admin to read `.log`, `.jsonl`, and `.json` files outside the configured `LOG_FOLDER` by supplying a filename that resolves into a sibling directory whose absolute path shares the log directory's string prefix.","published":"2026-09-24T15:17:39.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-29T13:26:01.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@us.ibm.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":4.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":["ibm/contextforge"],"epss":{"score":0.00316,"percentile":0.24357,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-09-25","score":0.00316,"percentile":0.21966}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%).
