CVE-2024-5986: H2O has an External Control of File Name or Path vulnerability

February 2, 2026 (updated October 27, 2026)

A vulnerability in h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.0.1 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary data to any file on the server. This is achieved by exploiting the /3/Parse endpoint to inject attacker-controlled data as the header of an empty file, which is then exported using the /3/Frames/framename/export endpoint. The impact of this vulnerability includes the potential for remote code execution and complete access to the system running h2o-3, as attackers can overwrite critical files such as private SSH keys or script files.
