Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in hexpm hexpm/hexpm ('Elixir.Hexpm.Store.Local' module) allows Relative Path Traversal. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/hexpm/store/local.ex and program routines 'Elixir.Hexpm.Store.Local':get/3, 'Elixir.Hexpm.Store.Local':put/4, 'Elixir.Hexpm.Store.Local':delete/2, 'Elixir.Hexpm.Store.Local':delete_many/2.
This issue does NOT affect hex.pm the service. Only self-hosted deployments using the Local Storage backend are affected.
This issue affects hexpm: from 931ee0ed46fa89218e0400a4f6e6d15f96406050 before 5d2ccd2f14f45a63225a73fb5b1c937baf36fdc0.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine (CWE-1336) exists in Workflows in Kibana which could allow an attacker to read arbitrary files from the Kibana server filesystem, and perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via Code Injection (CAPEC-242). This requires an authenticated user who has the workflowsManagement:executeWorkflow privilege.

Improper Validation of Array Index (CWE-129) in the PostgreSQL protocol parser in Packetbeat can lead Denial of Service via Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153). An attacker can send a specially crafted packet causing a Go runtime panic that terminates the Packetbeat process. This vulnerability requires the pgsql protocol to be explicitly enabled and configured to monitor traffic on the targeted port.

Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input (CWE-1284) in Kibana can allow an authenticated attacker with view-only privileges to cause a Denial of Service via Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153). An attacker can send a specially crafted, malformed payload causing excessive resource consumption and resulting in Kibana becoming unresponsive or crashing.

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. Prior to versions 2025.12.2, 2026.1.1, and 2026.2.0, `discourse-policy` plugin allows any authenticated user to interact with policies on posts they do not have permission to view. The `PolicyController` loads posts by ID without verifying the current user's access, enabling policy group members to accept/unaccept policies on posts in private categories or PMs they cannot see and any authenticated user to enumerate which post IDs have policies attached via differentiated error responses (information disclosure). The issue is patched in versions 2025.12.2, 2026.1.1, and 2026.2.0 by adding a `guardian.can_see?(@post)` check in the `set_post` before_action, ensuring post visibility is verified before any policy action is processed. As a workaround, disabling the discourse-policy plugin (`policy_enabled = false`) eliminates the vulnerability. There is no other workaround without upgrading.
