Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability exists in Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior within `app/modules/config/config.py`. The root cause is an incorrect comparison (CWE-697) where the application uses tuple-membership testing (`'..' in (a, b, c)`) instead of substring containment checking. This logic only triggers if a variable is exactly equal to '..', failing to block standard traversal sequences like `../../etc/passwd`. An authenticated attacker with at least low-level privileges can provide a crafted `configver` parameter via the `/config/versions/` route to perform an arbitrary file read. This can be used to exfiltrate the JWT signing key (`roxy-wi-key`) or SSH private keys. No public patch was available at the time of the advisory.
