CVE-2026-26217

Crawl4AI < 0.8.0 Docker API Local File Inclusion via file URL Handling

Published Feb 12, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 9.2 Critical EPSS 2.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Crawl4AI versions prior to 0.8.0 contain a local file inclusion vulnerability in the Docker API deployment. The /execute_js, /screenshot, /pdf, and /html endpoints accept file:// URLs, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. An attacker can access sensitive files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, application configuration files, and environment variables via /proc/self/environ, potentially exposing credentials, API keys, and internal application structure.
