{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-116673","aliases":["GHSA-4vjg-vx72-qq4g"],"summary":"systeminformation: Path traversal in Linux networkStats() allows symlink-based file disclosure outside /sys/class/net","details":"systeminformation is a System and OS information library for node.js. Prior to 5.33.14, the Linux networkStats(iface) implementation uses the caller-supplied interface value in an fs.existsSync() check and to build /sys/class/net/<iface> paths, including the operstate path, without verifying that it is a single interface-name segment or that the resolved path remains under /sys/class/net. An attacker who can control iface and create a directory containing symlinked statistics files can use parent-directory components and symlink traversal to make the API return the first line of a file readable by the Node.js process. The package does not expose a network endpoint, and the demonstrated scenario requires local filesystem setup. This issue is fixed in version 5.33.14.","categories":["Unclassified"],"product":"systeminformation","vendor":"sebhildebrandt","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-116673","source_modified_at":"2026-10-27T16:38:15.558Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-27T21:14:11.489891Z","product":"systeminformation","vendor":"sebhildebrandt","versions":[{"version":"< 5.33.14","status":"affected"}],"defaultStatus":null}],"fixed_versions":[],"cvss":3.3,"severity":"Low","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":null,"percentile":null,"score_date":null},"published_at":"2026-10-27T16:38:15.558Z","modified_at":"2026-10-27T16:38:15.558Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-116673","fetched_at":"2026-10-27T21:14:11.489891Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-27T16:38:15.558Z"}],"sources":["CVE List"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/security/advisories/GHSA-4vjg-vx72-qq4g","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM"]},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/commit/8d294b3139fec654a912969ac898037578a218cd","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/releases/tag/v5.33.14","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","cvss_source":"CVE List","classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":null,"confidence":"unknown","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-27T16:38:15.558Z","content_hash":"2e829cfd5338931e62bdcd834c4bb88b447018bd879eab97406c570b1a57473b"}}
