CVE-2026-77815
to_abs_path in scripts/iib/tool.py normalised the requested path with os.path.normpath, which collapses dot segments but does not resolve symbolic links. A symlink placed inside a scanned directory therefore satisfies the containment comparison performed by is_path_trusted in scripts/iib/api.py while pointing outside that directory, and FileResponse follows the link when serving the response, so a link created in an image directory and targeting a file such as /etc/passwd discloses that file. Whether the check applies depends on get_enable_access_control in scripts/iib/tool.py: it returns true when IIB_ACCESS_CONTROL is set to enable, false when set to disable, and otherwise true when the host Stable Diffusion WebUI was started with share, ngrok, listen or server_name, falling back to false. Confinement is therefore active in the network-exposed WebUI deployments that rely on it, while a standalone run with no such option serves every readable file regardless of this flaw. The fix resolves the path with os.path.realpath.

- It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
- For an attacker who can reach it, no special conditions are needed to exploit it.
- To exploit it, no account is needed.
- Beyond that, no action by a user is required.
