CVE-2026-45727 affects CloakBrowser versions prior to 0.3.28. The vulnerability is in the cloakserve CDP multiplexer, which uses the user-supplied fingerprint query parameter directly as a filesystem path component when creating Chrome profile directories. Because the input is not safely constrained to the configured data_dir, an unauthenticated attacker who can reach the cloakserve port can supply crafted path traversal sequences in fingerprint so that user_data_dir resolves outside the intended directory tree. When Chrome startup fails or when the process performs cleanup, cloakserve invokes shutil.rmtree() on the attacker-influenced path, which can delete directories outside the configured data directory. The issue is exacerbated by cloakserve binding to 0.0.0.0 by default, increasing the likelihood of remote exposure.
