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.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was identified in eghuzefa engineer-your-data up to 0.1.3. This vulnerability affects the function read_file/write_file/list_files/file_inf of the file src/server.py. The manipulation of the argument WORKSPACE_PATH leads to path traversal. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

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.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the file handling functions (read_file, write_file, list_files, file_inf) within src/server.py of the engineer-your-data project up to version 0.1.3. The WORKSPACE_PATH argument is not properly validated, allowing attackers to use directory traversal sequences (such as ../) to access files outside the intended workspace directory. This could enable unauthorized read, write, or listing of sensitive filesystem resources.

MitigationImplement strict input validation on the WORKSPACE_PATH parameter using path canonicalization (e.g., os.path.realpath()) combined with prefix matching to ensure all resolved paths remain within the intended directory boundaries. Additionally, reject path traversal sequences in user-supplied input.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed version of the eghuzefa engineer-your-data project
    Run 'pip show eghuzefa' or check your package manager for the installed version number
    Affected if The installed version is 0.1.3 or any earlier version (up to and including 0.1.3)
  2. Locate the src/server.py file in your installation
    Find the server.py file within the project source code and verify it contains the file operation functions
    Affected if The file exists and contains any of these functions: read_file, write_file, list_files, or file_inf
  3. Check if WORKSPACE_PATH is configurable or user-controlled
    Examine your application configuration, environment variables, or API parameters to see if WORKSPACE_PATH can be set by external input
    Affected if WORKSPACE_PATH can be influenced by user input or is not hardcoded to a fixed directory
  4. Inspect path handling in the affected functions
    Review the source code of read_file, write_file, list_files, and file_inf functions in src/server.py for path sanitization using os.path.realpath() or equivalent
    Affected if The code lacks proper path validation and allows '..' sequences to traverse outside the intended directory

Your environment is affected if you have version 0.1.3 or earlier of the eghuzefa engineer-your-data project with src/server.py containing the vulnerable file operations and configurable WORKSPACE_PATH without proper path sanitization.
