How to Fix CVE-2026-47144

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Shamefile dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

shamefile fixed: 0.1.7 
pip install shamefile>=0.1.7
shamefile fixed: 0.1.7 
npm install shamefile@0.1.7
shamefile fixed: 0.1.7 
Upgrade shamefile to 0.1.7
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show shamefile

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-47144, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show shamefile

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Shamefile in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.1.7), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show shamefile command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

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 Shamefile, 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

### Impact A path traversal vulnerability in `shame next` allows an attacker-controlled `shamefile.yaml` to disclose contents of files outside the repository, one line at a time, to the terminal of a user who runs the command. See patch commit for technical details. ### Patches Fixed in 0.1.7. Upgrade to either 0.1.7 or later versions to incorporate the patch. ### Workarounds Do not run `shame next` against untrusted `shamefile.yaml`. Use `shame me --dry-run` for CI validation. ### Resources - Patch commit: https://github.com/BKDDFS/shamefile/commit/77b0aeea318503582818c708518c601fedc43557 - Pull request: https://github.com/BKDDFS/shamefile/pull/80 - Release: https://github.com/BKDDFS/shamefile/releases/tag/v0.1.7 - [CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/22.html)
