CVE-2026-56258 affects Crawl4AI versions before 0.8.8. The vulnerability is an arbitrary file write flaw in the screenshot and PDF endpoints involving the output_path parameter. Due to insufficient path validation, symlink following, and a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition, an unauthenticated remote attacker can cause the application to write files outside the intended directory. The issue arises when attacker-controlled output_path handling does not safely constrain filesystem targets and can be raced or redirected via symlinks, enabling writes to unintended locations on the host.
