Typed path validation** — the `folder_name` and `file_name` parameters were changed from plain `str` to `ValidatedFolderName` and `ValidatedFileName` annotated types that reject traversal characters at the FastAPI input layer.\n\n**2. Path containment check** — `Path.name` is used to strip any directory component from the inputs before path construction, and `Path.is_relative_to()` verifies the resolved path remains within the allowed base directory. This replaces the previous `startswith()` check, which was susceptible to prefix-ambiguity bugs.\n\n```diff\n @router.get(\"/profile_pictures/{folder_name}/{file_name}\")\n async def download_profile_picture(\n-    folder_name: str,\n-    file_name: str,\n+    folder_name: ValidatedFolderName,\n+    file_name: ValidatedFileName,\n     settings_service: Annotated[SettingsService, Depends(get_settings_service)],\n ):\n```\n\n```diff\n-        file_path = (config_path / \"profile_pictures\" / folder_name / file_name).resolve()\n+        safe_folder = Path(folder_name).name\n+        safe_file = Path(file_name).name\n+        file_path = (config_path / \"profile_pictures\" / safe_folder / safe_file).resolve()\n\n         allowed_base = (config_path / \"profile_pictures\").resolve()\n-        if not str(file_path).startswith(str(allowed_base)):\n-            raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail=\"Profile picture not found\")\n+        if not file_path.is_relative_to(allowed_base):\n+            raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail=\"Profile picture not found\")\n```\n\n---\n\n## Workarounds\n\nIf you cannot upgrade immediately, restrict network access to the `/api/v1/files/profile_pictures/` endpoint at the reverse-proxy or firewall level. Rotating the `secret_key` is strongly recommended if exposure cannot be ruled out.\n\n---\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\nWe thank the security researcher who responsibly disclosed this vulnerability.\n\n- [r00tuser111](https://github.com/r00tuser111)","status":"published","published":"2026-03-20T20:56:14Z","modified":"2026-06-06T01:00:08.133229562Z","cvss":[{"version":"4.0","score":8.7,"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","level":"high"}],"cwes":["CWE-22"],"updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:46:53.244788Z"},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-81","description":"Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows.
