CVE-2026-72567

An improper path validation vulnerability in AsyncFuncAI/deepwiki-open through commit 16f35a0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to write to or delete arbitrary files with root privileges. The api/api.py wiki-cache endpoint constructs file paths from user-controlled owner, repo, and repo_type fields without sanitization, enabling path traversal.

Summary		(es) Una vulnerabilidad de validación de ruta incorrecta en AsyncFuncAI/deepwiki-open hasta el commit 16f35a0 permite a atacantes remotos no autenticados escribir o eliminar archivos arbitrarios con privilegios de root. El endpoint wiki-cache de api/api.py construye rutas de archivo a partir de los campos owner, repo y repo_type controlados por el usuario sin sanitización, lo que permite el salto de ruta.
