Docmost: Public image fileName path traversal leads to unauthorized local file read
CVE-2026-48072 is a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) in Docmost, published September 24, 2026. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.33%, the 25th percentile. No source names a fixed version.
Docmost is open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. Prior to 0.80.1, the public avatar and logo image endpoint accepts attacker-controlled fileName path segments and resolves them against local storage without confinement to the intended image directory.
