# CVE-2026-123790: ComfyUI-Easy-Use remote code execution via path traversal in custom nodes

- Also known as: EUVD-2026-124521, GHSA-25XV-W465-QR9F
- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no

CVE-2026-123790 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It affects ComfyUI-Easy-Use; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

ComfyUI-Easy-Use, a custom node add-on for ComfyUI, contains a path traversal flaw that lets an unauthenticated remote attacker overwrite an installed custom node's Python file with their own code. When ComfyUI restarts and loads that node, the attacker's code runs with the privileges of the ComfyUI process.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- ComfyUI-Easy-Use: from 1.3.6, through 1.4.1

## Description

ComfyUI-Easy-Use version 1.3.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the `save_preview()` handler for POST `/easyuse/save/{name}`. The handler checks the source directory before appending a user-supplied filename and allows the request to select the `custom_nodes` directory as a copy destination. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the ComfyUI server can overwrite an installed custom node’s Python entry point with an uploaded file. When ComfyUI restarts and loads the modified node, the attacker’s code runs with the privileges of the ComfyUI process.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on ComfyUI-Easy-Use, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, run the stack.check operation (execute) on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-123790 (Unauthenticated Path Traversal in ComfyUI-Easy-Use Allows Remote Code Execution), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-123790 (entry last updated 2026-11-12):
Affected:
- ComfyUI-Easy-Use ComfyUI-Easy-Use: from 1.3.6, through 1.4.1
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-123790 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-123790 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
