Commons VFS provides a uniform view of files through a single API which is designed for accessing various different file systems. These file systems could be a local disk, an HTTP server or a ZIP archive file. The key features are listed as follows: * The API is consistent among various file types. * Support for a wide range of file systems. * Support caching local file system with different fs types. * Event delivery. * Provides in-JVM info caching. * A set of Ant tasks which VFS is enabled. * Easy to be intergrated into applications such as VFS-aware ClassLoader and URLStreamHandlerFactory.
Security Fix(es):
Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Commons VFS before 2.10.0.
The FileObject API in Commons VFS has a 'resolveFile' method that takes a 'scope' parameter. Specifying 'NameScope.DESCENDENT' promises that "an exception is thrown if the resolved file is not a descendent of the base file". However, when the path contains encoded ".." characters (for example, "%2E%2E/bar.txt"), it might return file objects that are not a descendent of the base file, without throwing an exception. This issue affects Apache Commons VFS: before 2.10.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.10.0, which fixes the issue.(CVE-2025-27553)
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache Commons VFS.
The FtpFileObject class can throw an exception when a file is not found, revealing the original URI in its message, which may include a password. The fix is to mask the password in the exception message This issue affects Apache Commons VFS: before 2.10.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.10.0, which fixes the issue.(CVE-2025-30474)
