Official description

NVD · unedited

A vulnerability has been found in Dromara lamp-cloud up to 5.10.0. This affects an unknown part of the file DefGenProjectController.java of the component Code Generator. Such manipulation of the argument outputDir/parent/projectPrefix leads to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Technical summary

dbcve analysis

How this class of weakness works · CWE-22

A file path is built from user input without being confined, so sequences like “../” let an attacker step outside the intended directory. That can expose configuration, credentials, or source code, and in the worst case lets an attacker write files where they shouldn't. A durable fix resolves and canonicalises the path, then rejects anything that escapes a known-safe base directory.

From vendor data

No vendor fix exists The vendor has not published a patch for this.

There is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.

Can’t wait

We develop and verify an original fix where the vendor hasn’t, from $4,000. Deployed to your staging first — never straight to production.

CVE-2026-19756 is a path traversal in lamp-cloud's DefGenProjectController.java, specifically in how the `outputDir` and `projectPrefix` parameters are handled during project scaffolding generation. The CVSS 6.3 score dramatically understates the actual risk. This isn't a vulnerability in a web endpoint — it's a vulnerability in a component that produces code other developers will deploy, extend, and trust. Every project scaffolded by this tool carries the generator's security assumptions baked into its foundation. The blast radius isn't measured in direct exploitation attempts against the generator; it's measured in the downstream projects, templates, and microservices spawned from generated code that inherit the same flawed path-handling logic. The vendor's non-response compounds this asymmetrically. When a security report goes unacknowledged, you lose the ability to make informed risk decisions. You cannot patch. You cannot confirm whether your fork contains the flaw. You cannot audit generated codebases for the pattern because you may not even know lamp-cloud was in your scaffolding pipeline. The exposure window becomes unmeasurable from the outside. What to do: Audit any build pipelines or internal tooling that invoke lamp-cloud's code generation features. If you have projects generated by this tool, search the scaffolded codebase for file-operation logic that mirrors the input path handling — the vulnerability likely propagated into the output. Consider the generator's design pattern as a red flag: components that accept user-controlled paths to perform their primary operation (writing files) create a class of vulnerabilities that re-emerge across every new parameter. The question isn't just whether this instance is patched — it's whether your generated code inherited the assumption that path inputs are safe.

What a fix involves

We scope it with you and confirm a fixed quote
A specialist builds a reviewed fix
You deploy it to staging first
Optional re-test once it’s live

Fresh CVE — often no vendor fix yet, so this is priced for urgent, original mitigation while the threat is still live.

We specialise in CVE remediation. Send your environment and we’ll scope CVE-2026-19756 and return a fixed quote.

You’ll deal with our team directly and deploy the reviewed fix to staging first — never straight to production.

Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

CVSS breakdown How the score is builtThe industry scoring standard. It rates how the flaw is reached, what it takes to exploit, and what an attacker gains — the score is derived from those, not the other way round.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
