npm ls short-video-maker

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-8115, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls short-video-maker

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Short video maker in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls short-video-maker command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Short video maker, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A security flaw has been discovered in gyoridavid short-video-maker up to 1.3.4. This affects an unknown part of the file src/server/routers/rest.ts of the component REST API. The manipulation of the argument req.params.tmpFile results in path traversal. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
