When a non-existing folder is passed as the serve_from argument to Files::new(), the mount path defaults to an empty path; the service then joins the request path with this empty path and canonicalizes it, causing Rust to resolve it as a relative path. As a result, an attacker can request paths that resolve relative to the application's working directory and access unintended files.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-72814)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `actix-files < 0.6.10`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `actix-files 0.6.10`\n\nSource: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-8v2v-wjwg-vx6r\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Moderate · affected: Red Hat OpenShift Update Service · no fix planned: Red Hat OpenShift Update Service · updated 2026-09-18 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-72814.json)","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":29,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":29.2,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":206973,"id":"CVE-2026-72814","ts":1789749725220,"field":"cvss","old":null,"new":"5.3"}]}
