Path Traversal in Dify Plugin Daemon Internal REST API
CVE-2026-41948 is a path traversal vulnerability affecting Dify version 1.14.1 and earlier in the Plugin Daemon component, which manages and runs Dify plugins. The flaw is caused by insufficient URL path sanitization when requests are forwarded to the Plugin Daemon's internal REST API. According to the provided content, attackers can abuse two request primitives supporting GET and POST operations by supplying unencoded dot-segment traversal sequences in task identifiers or manipulated filename parameters. This allows traversal outside the attacker's authorized tenant path and access to internal, otherwise private Plugin Daemon endpoints, including debug interfaces such as performance profiling endpoints. The issue has also been described as enabling arbitrary internal API endpoint access and cross-tenant effects where knowledge of a victim tenant UUID is sufficient. Some provided reporting states the vulnerable Plugin Daemon endpoints do not require authentication, while other provided content describes exploitation by authenticated users; based on the supplied material, the authentication requirement is inconsistent.
