CVE-2026-48126
Algernon is a small self-contained pure-Go web server. Prior to 1.17.8, when algernon is started with --domain (or --letsencrypt, which silently turns on --domain at engine/flags.go:372), the request handler resolves the served directory by joining the configured --dir with the value of the client-supplied Host header. The join is performed by filepath.Join with no validation, so a Host: .. header walks one level above the document root. Subsequent file resolution then exposes everything in that parent directory — arbitrary file read, full directory listing, and, if any .lua file is present, server-side Lua execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.8.

"value": "Algernon es un pequeño servidor web autocontenido y puro Go. Antes de la 1.17.8, cuando algernon se inicia con --domain (o --letsencrypt, que activa silenciosamente --domain en engine/flags.go:372), el gestor de solicitudes resuelve el directorio servido uniendo el --dir configurado con el valor del encabezado Host proporcionado por el cliente. La unión se realiza mediante filepath.Join sin validación, por lo que un encabezado Host: .. sube un nivel por encima de la raíz del documento. La resolución de archivos posterior expone entonces todo en ese directorio padre - lectura de archivos arbitraria, listado completo de directorios y, si hay algún archivo .lua presente, ejecución de Lua del lado del servidor. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versión 1.17.8."
