CVE-2026-42605: AzuraCast has Path Traversal in `currentDirectory` Parameter that Enables Remote Code Execution via Media Upload

May 4, 2026 (updated May 13, 2026)

The currentDirectory request parameter in the Flow.js media upload endpoint (POST /api/station/{station_id}/files/upload) is not sanitized for path traversal sequences. When combined with a local filesystem storage backend (the default), an authenticated user with media management permissions can write arbitrary files outside the station’s media storage directory, achieving remote code execution by writing a PHP webshell to the web root.
