title: yard - Possible arbitrary path traversal and file access via yard server
date: 2026-04-17
description: |
### Impact

A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in YARD <= 0.9.41 when
using yard server to serve documentation. This bug would allow
unsanitized HTTP requests to access arbitrary files on the machine
of a yard server host under certain conditions.

The original patch in [GHSA-xfhh-rx56-rxcr](https://github.com/lsegal/yard/security/advisories/GHSA-xfhh-rx56-rxcr)
was incorrectly applied.

### Patches

Please upgrade to YARD v0.9.42 immediately if you are relying on yard
server to host documentation in any untrusted environments without
WEBrick and rely on `--docroot`.

### Workarounds

For users who cannot upgrade, it is possible to perform path sanitization
of HTTP requests at your webserver level. WEBrick, for example, can
perform such sanitization by default (which you can use via yard
server -s webrick), as can certain rules in your webserver configuration.
