CVE-2026-43624 — F5-TTS security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.8

F5-TTS through version 1.1.20 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the finetune Gradio handlers that allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files by passing unsanitized user-supplied project names directly to os.path.join() without validating the resulting path stays within the intended base directory. Attackers can supply absolute path arguments such as /tmp/EVIL to override the base directory entirely and create arbitrary directories with attacker-controlled JSON content at any filesystem path writable by the server process.

Matched remediation archetype

Path traversal, unsafe upload, and file handling

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace untrusted filenames, archive entries, URLs, and path segments into read, write, include, extraction, and upload operations.
  • Identify filesystem roots, mount permissions, symbolic-link behavior, archive handling, and whether uploaded content is web-accessible or executable.
  • Review canonicalization and containment checks across supported operating systems and storage backends.

Remediate safely

  • Generate server-side storage identifiers and resolve paths beneath a fixed root using filesystem-aware containment checks.
  • Reject absolute, parent-relative, alternate-separator, device, link, and archive entries that escape the intended root.
  • Store uploads outside executable or served paths, validate type and size, and use private atomic temporary files.
