CVE-2026-32981

ray-project Ray, Red Hat AI Inference Server 3.2, Red Hat OpenShift AI 2.25

A path traversal vulnerability was identified in Ray Dashboard (default port 8265) in Ray versions prior to 2.8.1. Due to improper validation and sanitization of user-supplied paths in the static file handling mechanism, an attacker can use traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to access files outside the intended static directory, resulting in local file disclosure.
