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

XAgent contains a path traversal vulnerability in the workspace file endpoint that allows self-registered or default-credential users to read arbitrary files on the host by supplying parent-directory segments in the file_name form field with no path containment check. Attackers can register an account without email verification, then submit crafted file_name values such as parent-directory traversal sequences to the /workspace/file handler to read host files including application secrets, database credentials, and system files outside the Docker sandbox.
