When a non-existing folder is passed as the serve_from argument to Files::new(), the mount path defaults to an empty path; the service then joins the request path with this empty path and canonicalizes it, causing Rust to resolve it as a relative path. As a result, an attacker can request paths that resolve relative to the application's working directory and access unintended files.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":6.3},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-22"],"references":["https://github.com/actix/actix-web/security/advisories/GHSA-8v2v-wjwg-vx6r","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/actix-web-before-information-disclosure-via-files","https://github.com/actix/actix-web/security/advisories/GHSA-8v2v-wjwg-vx6r"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-24T16:53:35.584907681+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72814","score":0.00469,"percentile":0.40279,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-8v2v-wjwg-vx6r","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-8v2v-wjwg-vx6r","summary":"actix-files has a possible exposure of information vulnerability","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:34.469641471Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"actix-files","purl":"pkg:cargo/actix-files","ranges":["<0.6.10"],"fixed":["0.6.10"]}]}],"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).
