The RSGI static handler for Emmett's internal assets (`/__emmett__` paths) is vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can use `../` sequences (eg `/__emmett__/../rsgi/handlers.py`) to read arbitrary files outside the assets directory.
Update emmett to 2.8.1 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.
Local check
hol-guard supply-chain scanEmmett has a path traversal in internal assets handler affects emmett (pip). Severity is high. The RSGI static handler for Emmett's internal assets (`/__emmett__` paths) is vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can use `../` sequences (eg `/__emmett__/../rsgi/handlers.py`) to read arbitrary files outside the assets directory.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in pip. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
| Package | Affected range | Fixed version |
|---|---|---|
| emmettpip | >=2.5.0,<2.8.1 | 2.8.1 |
Fixed versions are reported by the source feed; confirm compatibility before updating.
