Werkzeug safe_join() allows Windows special device names

CVE-2026-27199 / GHSA-29vq-49wr-vm6x

More information

Details

Werkzeug's safe_join function allows Windows device names as filenames if when preceded by other path segments.

This was previously reported as GHSA-hgf8-39gv-g3f2, but the added filtering failed to account for the fact that safe_join accepts paths with multiple segments, such as example/NUL.

send_from_directory uses safe_join to safely serve files at user-specified paths under a directory. If the application is running on Windows, and the requested path ends with a special device name, the file will be opened successfully, but reading will hang indefinitely.
