How is This vulnerability attacked?

It is attacked over the network, in a software library.

Check whether you run Khoj AI Khoj or khoj (PyPI) at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

khoj unauthenticated path traversal in /home/ endpoint

Severity: medium · CVSS 4 · Published 2026-09-25

Khoj is an open-source search and chat application. An unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem by exploiting a path traversal vulnerability in the /home/ endpoint, potentially exposing sensitive configuration, credentials, and system files without requiring any authentication or user interaction.

Technologies: khoj (PyPI). Vendors: PyPI.

Technical details

The /home/{file_path:path} endpoint in web_client.py directly concatenates user-supplied input with a base directory without path normalization or traversal filtering, and lacks authentication decorators. An attacker can use ../ sequences to traverse outside the intended directory and read arbitrary files readable by the server process via network requests.

Affected products

khoj-ai khoj 2.0.0-beta.23 to 2.0.0-beta.25

Timeline
