Last modified

CVE-2026-40526 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Volmarg Personal Management System contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying absolute filesystem paths to the GET /public/get-file/{path} endpoint. The path route parameter is passed directly to file_get_contents() without canonicalization against a permitted base directory, enabling attackers to retrieve sensitive files accessible to the PHP-FPM worker process without using directory traversal sequences.. EPSS estimates a 0.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
