Technical description

Nuclei is a vulnerability scanner built on a simple YAML-based DSL. From 3.0.0 until 3.10.0, the workflow template loading path does not enforce the -file capability gate when resolving file: protocol templates referenced by a workflow. An untrusted unsigned workflow can therefore load a file-protocol template and read local files from the scanner host even when the operator has not enabled file templates. The issue affects CLI users running workflows with -w and SDK integrations that accept end-user workflows while relying on the default file-access restriction. This issue is fixed in version 3.10.0.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
