{"cve":"CVE-2022-36007","nvd":{"published":"2022-08-15T11:21:40.967","modified":"2026-06-17T04:52:43.633","status":"Modified","description":"Venice is a Clojure inspired sandboxed Lisp dialect with excellent Java interoperability. A partial path traversal issue exists within the functions `load-file` and `load-resource`. These functions can be limited to load files from a list of load paths. Assuming Venice has been configured with the load paths: `[ \"/Users/foo/resources\" ]` When passing **relative** paths to these two vulnerable functions everything is fine: `(load-resource \"test.png\")` => loads the file \"/Users/foo/resources/test.png\" `(load-resource \"../resources-alt/test.png\")` => rejected, outside the load path When passing **absolute** paths to these two vulnerable functions Venice may return files outside the configured load paths: `(load-resource \"/Users/foo/resources/test.png\")` => loads the file \"/Users/foo/resources/test.png\" `(load-resource \"/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png\")` => loads the file \"/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png\" !!! The latter call suffers from the _Partial Path Traversal_ vulnerability. This issue’s scope is limited to absolute paths whose name prefix matches a load path. E.g. for a load-path `\"/Users/foo/resources\"`, the actor can cause loading a resource also from `\"/Users/foo/resources-alt\"`, but not from `\"/Users/foo/images\"`. Versions of Venice before and including v1.10.17 are affected by this issue. Upgrade to Venice >= 1.10.18, if you are on a version < 1.10.18. There are currently no known workarounds.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":3.3},"cwes":["CWE-22"],"references":["https://github.com/jlangch/venice/commit/215ae91bb964013b0a2d70718a692832d561ae0a","https://github.com/jlangch/venice/commit/c942c73136333bc493050910f171a48e6f575b23","https://github.com/jlangch/venice/releases/tag/v1.10.17","https://github.com/jlangch/venice/security/advisories/GHSA-4mmh-5vw7-rgvj","https://github.com/jlangch/venice/commit/215ae91bb964013b0a2d70718a692832d561ae0a"],"products":["venice_project:venice"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:34:18.502168378+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-36007","score":0.00431,"percentile":0.37305,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-4mmh-5vw7-rgvj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-4mmh-5vw7-rgvj","summary":"Venice vulnerable to Partial Path Traversal issue within the functions `load-file` and `load-resource`","modified":"2023-11-08T04:09:56.951434Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"com.github.jlangch:venice","purl":"pkg:maven/com.github.jlangch/venice","ranges":["<1.10.17"],"fixed":["1.10.17"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
