so-vits-svc: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
CVE-2026-65701 is a critical-severity improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory vulnerability in so-vits-svc from Svc-develop-team, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected so-vits-svc versions: 730930d337d171479eadf305f96cbed4bb393e77 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.69% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 54% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of so-vits-svc you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
SoftVC VITS Singing Voice Conversion through commit 730930d contains a path traversal vulnerability in the full-song inference server that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read and exfiltrate arbitrary files by supplying attacker-controlled filesystem paths through the audio_path field of an unauthenticated POST request to the /wav2wav route. Attackers can pass arbitrary server-side paths verbatim to librosa.load, torchaudio.load, and soundfile.write sinks, causing the server to decode and return file contents via the HTTP response body while also writing attacker-specified .wav files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem.

The underlying weakness: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth.
