CVE-2026-114665 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-22

Goploy is a DevOps deployment and CI/CD management platform. A flaw in the /deploy/fileDiff and /deploy/fileCompare endpoints allows authenticated users with repository write access to read arbitrary files by committing symlinks that point outside the project directory, potentially exposing database credentials and SSH private keys used for deployments.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 1.18.1

## Technical details

The vulnerability is a symlink-following flaw in the file comparison endpoints that fails to restrict path traversal. An attacker with repository write permissions can commit a symbolic link pointing outside the project directory; when the fileDiff or fileCompare endpoints process this symlink, they dereference it and expose the target file's contents. This grants read access to sensitive deployment files including database configuration and private SSH keys.

## Affected products
