CVE-2025-54386: Traefik Client Plugin's Path Traversal Vulnerability Allows Arbitrary File Overwrite and Remote Code Execution

August 1, 2025 (updated November 27, 2025)

A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in WASM Traefik’s plugin installation mechanism. By supplying a maliciously crafted ZIP archive containing file paths with ../ sequences, an attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the system outside of the intended plugin directory. This can lead to remote code execution (RCE), privilege escalation, persistence, or denial of service. ✅ After investigation, it is confirmed that no plugins on the Catalog were affected. There is no known impact.
