Path Traversal in @redocly/cli (CVE-2026-63225)
Summary
Path traversal in @redocly/cli (CVE-2026-63225). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via split. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.33.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Impact
An OpenAPI or AsyncAPI description could make the split command write
files outside the chosen output directory, on the machine of anyone who runs
split against it. The write is constrained rather than a free file-write
primitive: component data is emitted only as YAML/JSON, and code-sample files are
named after the HTTP method, so an attacker can place or overwrite files at an
unintended path but has limited control over their name and contents.
Patches
Fixed in @redocly/cli v2.33.2.
Workarounds
Do not run the split command on API descriptions from untrusted or unreviewed sources.
To detect an exploit attempt, inspect the description's component names and
x-codeSamples lang values for a literal ../ — neither legitimately contains
path segments.

Attack vector: local / unauthenticated
Attack surface: split / lang
Patched: 2.33.2 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
Path traversal (CWE-22) exists in @redocly/cli. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via split without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of @redocly/cli. Attack surface: split / lang.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.4/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to 2.33.2.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r '@redocly/cli' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
