Zephyr · Zephyr · CVE-2026-8023
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Zephyr versions 4.0.0 through 4.4.0
**Description**
The HTTP server (subsys/net/lib/http) contains a path traversal flaw when using the static-filesystem resource type (HTTP RESOURCE TYPE STATIC FS) with `CONFIG FILE SYSTEM` enabled. Both HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 front-ends fail to resolve `./..` segments in the request path, which is stored in the `client-url buffer` variable. The static-FS handler constructs the on-disk filename by concatenating the configured root directory with this raw URL and opens it using the `fs open()` function. An unauthenticated remote client can use a specially crafted request containing `..` segments to escape the configured web root and read arbitrary files on the mounted volume.
**Recommendations**
Update Zephyr to a version later than 4.4.0.
As a temporary mitigation, avoid registering static-filesystem resources or disable `CONFIG FILE SYSTEM` if not required.
