CVE-2026-49342

EUVD-2026-38069

19.06.2026, 20:16

YARD is a documentation generation tool for the Ruby programming language. Prior to version 0.9.44, YARD's static cache lookup reads a request path before the router's path cleanup runs. When a server is configured with a document root, a traversal path such as `/../yard-cache-secret.html` is joined against that root and can return a readable sibling `.html` file outside the intended static tree. Version 0.9.44 patches the issue.

CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
