CVE-2026-62278LubeLogger: Path Traversal in HandleTranslationFileUpload Allows Authenticated Users to Write Files Outside Data Directory
High 8.1
In plain English
A high-severity path traversal in lubelog from hargata. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.5% (higher than 44% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
LubeLogger is a self-hosted, open-source, web-based vehicle maintenance and fuel mileage tracker. Prior to 1.6.8, authenticated non-administrative users could reach HandleTranslationFileUpload and influence the name passed from Controllers/FilesController.cs to RenameFile in Helper/FileHelper.cs. RenameFile constructed newFilePath with string replacement and moved the uploaded file without verifying the resolved absolute path remained under the web root or data directory. A crafted upload name could therefore move an uploaded file outside the intended storage directory, enabling unauthorized file placement or overwrite with the privileges of the application process. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.8.
