CVE-2026-126128Auth0 Node JS path traversal
CVE-2026-126128 is a path traversal in Auth0 Node JS, not yet scored.
Why this priority: Not scored yet, and no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Awaiting Analysis
What it is
A file name from the request can climb out of the intended folder with sequences like ../, reaching files the service never meant to expose. A name or path resolves to a different resource than the one intended.
How it is reached
The record does not say yet how the flaw is reached; the description below is the best guide until it is scored.
What an attacker gains
Its impact has not been scored yet. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Auth0 Node JS to 7.6.0 or later.
Description from NVD
The Management API client in the Auth0 Node.js SDK improperly neutralizes path parameters, allowing a request and its attached management API token to be redirected to an unintended endpoint on the same tenant, resulting in unintended access to data or operations that the token's existing scopes already permit.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- File storage the service can read or write. The flaw sits between the application and the file system it can reach.
Trust boundaries in play
- Between the application and the file system it can reach. An attacker who crosses it can read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Auth0 Node JS run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances are reachable by people you do not trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
