GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3

hyper-staticfile's improper validation of Windows paths could lead to directory traversal attack

Path resolution in hyper-staticfile didn't correctly validate Windows paths, meaning paths like /foo/bar/c:/windows/web/screen/img101.png would be allowed and respond with the contents of c:/windows/web/screen/img101.png. Thus users could potentially read files anywhere on the filesystem.

This only impacts Windows. Linux and other unix likes are not impacted by this.

Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files. Typical impact: unauthorized file read or write outside the intended directory.

1. What is GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3? GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in hyper-staticfile (rust), affecting versions < 0.9.2. It is fixed in 0.9.2, 0.10.0-alpha.2. Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files.
2. Which versions of hyper-staticfile are affected by GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3? hyper-staticfile (rust) versions < 0.9.2 is affected.
3. Is there a fix for GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3? Yes. GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3 is fixed in 0.9.2, 0.10.0-alpha.2. Upgrade to this version or later.
4. Is GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

5. What actually determines whether GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
6. How do I fix GHSA-7P7C-PVVX-2VX3?
   • Upgrade hyper-staticfile to 0.9.2 or later
   • Upgrade hyper-staticfile to 0.10.0-alpha.2 or later
