Path Traversal in Volmarg Personal Management System (CVE-2026-40526)
Summary
Path traversal in Volmarg Personal Management System (CVE-2026-40526). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via GET /public/get-file/{path}.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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.
