Summary

Mopidy before 4.0.5 contains a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in FileLibraryProvider.lookup(), which lacks a containment check. An unauthenticated remote client can reach local files outside the configured file/media_dirs by sending file:// URIs over JSON-RPC or WebSocket. The attacker can probe whether files exist, read their tag metadata, and play files outside the sandbox.

Description from the CNA

Mopidy before 4.0.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated clients to access local files outside file/media_dirs because FileLibraryProvider.lookup() lacks a containment check. Attackers can call core.library.lookup or core.tracklist.add over JSON-RPC or WebSocket with file:// URIs to probe file existence, read tag metadata, and play out-of-sandbox files.
