Last modified

CVE-2026-32981 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. A path traversal vulnerability was identified in Ray Dashboard (default port 8265) in Ray versions prior to 2.8.1. Due to improper validation and sanitization of user-supplied paths in the static file handling mechanism, an attacker can use traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to access files outside the intended static directory, resulting in local file disclosure.. EPSS estimates a 0.69% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
