Frequently Asked Questions

About CVE-2026-63188

What is CVE-2026-63188 and which software does it affect?

CVE-2026-63188 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the @logto/tunnel npm package, used for serving local sign-in experience files during Logto development and tunneling workflows. The flaw allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to escape the configured static file directory and read arbitrary files accessible to the tunnel process. It affects all versions prior to 0.3.9 and carries a CVSS score of 8.7 (High). Source: NVD, August 19, 2026. Note: This vulnerability is specific to @logto/tunnel and not to IONIX's own platform.

How can organizations mitigate CVE-2026-63188?

To mitigate CVE-2026-63188, upgrade @logto/tunnel to version 0.3.9 or later, which normalizes and validates request paths against the configured static directory before serving files. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to the tunnel’s listening port via firewall rules or network segmentation, avoid exposing the --experience-path option to untrusted networks, do not store sensitive files in or near the static directory, and monitor logs for suspicious requests containing ../ sequences.

IONIX Capabilities for Zero-Day and CVE Response

How does IONIX detect and validate exposures to new CVEs like CVE-2026-63188?

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods—including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, and metadata inspection—to automatically map every internet-facing asset, including cloud instances, third-party platforms, and shadow IT. The platform continuously analyzes dozens of threat intelligence feeds to detect new CVEs and applies AI to proactively evaluate exploitability. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by attacker-centric criteria, validates exploitability with safe, non-intrusive test payloads, and routes results through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools for actionable remediation.

CVE-2026-63188 – Unauthenticated Path Traversal / Arbitrary File Read – Logto Tunnel (@logto/tunnel)

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-63188 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the @logto/tunnel npm package, used to serve local sign-in experience files during Logto development/tunneling workflows. The flaw allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to escape the configured static file directory and read arbitrary files accessible to the tunnel process. It carries a CVSS score of 8.7 (High) and affects all versions prior to 0.3.9.

Technical details

  • Root cause: In packages/tunnel/src/commands/tunnel/utils.ts, the static file handler builds the target filesystem path with path.join(staticPath, request.url) and then opens it with fs.open(), without normalizing the URL or verifying that the resolved path stays within the configured static directory.
  • Trigger conditions: The tunnel must be running with the --experience-path option enabled (used to serve a custom sign-in experience) and reachable over the network.
  • Attack vector: Network, no authentication or user interaction required. An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request containing ../ sequences (e.g., GET /../secret.txt) to the tunnel’s listening port.
  • Impact: Disclosure of arbitrary files readable by the tunnel process — potentially including configuration files, credentials, or other secrets stored on the host — resulting in high confidentiality impact with no direct effect on integrity or availability.

Affected software

  • @logto/tunnel (Logto Tunnel npm package) versions ≤ 0.3.8
  • Fixed in version 0.3.9

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 8.7 (High)
  • Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
  • Network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, high confidentiality impact.

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade @logto/tunnel to version 0.3.9 or later, which normalizes and validates request paths against the configured static directory before serving files.
  • If immediate patching is not possible:
    • Avoid running the tunnel with --experience-path exposed to untrusted networks; restrict access to the tunnel’s listening port via firewall rules or network segmentation.
    • Do not store secrets or sensitive files in or near the directory tree used as the static/experience path.
    • Monitor logs for requests containing ../ sequences targeting the tunnel service.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
