CVE-2026-74033: Wazuh path traversal in CDB list handlers

CVE-2026-74033 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.1 · Published 2026-10-13

Wazuh is a security information and event management (SIEM) platform that collects and analyzes logs from servers and endpoints. A compromised worker node in a Wazuh cluster can exploit a path traversal flaw to read arbitrary files from the master server or delete critical system files—including the RBAC database that controls access permissions—without requiring valid credentials.

Technical details

The get_lists() and delete_list_file() functions in the CDB list handlers fail to validate that file paths remain within the intended USER_LISTS_PATH directory. These functions are reachable through the internal cluster RPC mechanism, which bypasses REST/OpenAPI validation and RBAC checks. An attacker with a compromised worker node can send absolute or traversal paths to read arbitrary files (via get_lists()) or delete files anywhere under WAZUH_PATH (via delete_list_file()), including critical files like rbac.db, without authentication or authorization.
