Summary
CVAT is an open source interactive video and image annotation tool for computer vision. In versions 2.8.1 through 2.52.0, an attacker with an account on a CVAT instance is able to retrieve the contents of any file system directory accessible to the CVAT server. The exposed information is names of contained files and subdirectories. The contents of files are not accessible. Version 2.53.0 contains a patch.
Risk Assessment
Disclosure of file names and directory structure can help an attacker map the system and plan further attacks. This can lead to confidentiality breaches and facilitate privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Update CVAT to version 2.53.0 or later. Restrict user account permissions and access to the server file system.
Other vulnerabilities in CVAT
See all- CVE-2026-73220High
CVAT, an open source annotation tool, versions 2.68.0 to 2.70.0 contain an XSS vulnerability in the audio annotation guide renderer. A user with guide creation/edit privileges can store malicious JavaScript that executes when another user opens the guide, allowing arbitrary CVAT requests with victim privileges. Fixed in version 2.70.0.
- CVE-2026-73221Medium
CVAT from version 2.17.0 until 2.72.0 has a vulnerability that allows a user with the Worker role to use predictable task-based request IDs with the lambda request retrieve and destroy endpoints to view automatic annotation requests for tasks or jobs the user cannot access and cancel requests initiated by other users. This issue is fixed in version 2.72.0.
- CVE-2026-73219Medium
CVAT is an open source interactive video and image annotation tool. From 2.17.0 until 2.72.0, a user with write access to a CVAT job can submit a batch automatic annotation request with inconsistent task and job IDs, blocking automatic annotation for another task whose ID is known. This issue is fixed in version 2.72.0.
- CVE-2026-65986High
In CVAT versions 2.5.0 through 2.66.0, there is an XSS vulnerability accessible through annotation guide assets. When CVAT serves files attached to an annotation guide, it labels them with a media type that the attacker can influence, allowing the victim's browser to treat the file as an HTML page and run any JavaScript inside it. This issue has been fixed in version 2.67.0.
- CVE-2026-47682High
CVAT versions 1.6.0 through 2.64.0 contain a vulnerability that allows an attacker with write access to a cloud storage added to a CVAT instance, or ability to add new cloud storages, to overwrite arbitrary files on the server's filesystem. This issue has been fixed in version 2.65.0.
- CVE-2026-58373Medium
A vulnerability in CVAT before version 2.69.0 in the QualityReportViewSet.get_queryset allows authenticated attackers to enumerate quality report identifiers belonging to other organizations. The missing check_object_permissions call on the parent_id parameter in the quality reports API endpoint enables distinguishing existing and non-existing reports via HTTP 500 vs 404 responses.
