NewCVE-2025-64714 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade privatebin/privatebin to version 2.0.3 or higher.
Overview
privatebin/privatebin is a minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal via the template-switching feature when templateselection is enabled in the configuration. An attacker can read sensitive files or potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying crafted path traversal values in the template cookie.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the templateselection setting is enabled in the configuration.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by setting templateselection = false in the configuration file or removing the option entirely.
