CVE-2026-104203 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-11-04

Traccar is an open-source GPS tracking system that stores media files such as photos and videos associated with tracked devices. An unauthenticated attacker can bypass authorization checks by inserting a semicolon into the URL path, allowing them to download protected media files if they know a device ID and filename. This could expose sensitive photos, audio, or video recordings stored in the system.

## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in versions 5.1 through 6.14.x where WebModule's Guice filter mapping and WebServer's Jetty ResourceServlet interpret path parameters differently. An attacker can craft a request to /api/media/* with a semicolon to bypass MediaFilter's session and device authorization checks while still being routed by Jetty to the ResourceServlet, which serves the requested file. The attack requires knowledge of a valid device ID and media filename but no authentication.

## Affected products
