No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

A path traversal vulnerability in AsyncFuncAI deepwiki-open through commit 16f35a0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain directory listings for arbitrary filesystem paths via the local-repository structure endpoint. The endpoint accepts an absolute filesystem path parameter and returns a directory listing without authentication, as WIKI_AUTH_MODE defaults to false. An attacker can enumerate sensitive directory contents on the host system.
