Crawl4AI versions prior to 0.8.0 contain a local file inclusion vulnerability in the Docker API deployment. The /execute_js, /screenshot, /pdf, and /html endpoints accept file:// URLs, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. An attacker can access sensitive files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, application configuration files, and environment variables via /proc/self/environ, potentially exposing credentials, API keys, and internal application structure.

CVE-2026-26217 [CRITICAL] Crawl4AI Has Local File Inclusion in Docker API via file:// URLs
Crawl4AI Has Local File Inclusion in Docker API via file:// URLs
A local file inclusion vulnerability exists in the Crawl4AI Docker API. The /execute_js, /screenshot, /pdf, and /html endpoints accept file:// URLs, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem.
Attack Vector:
```json
POST /execute_js
{
"url": "file:///etc/passwd",
"scripts": ["document.body.innerText"]
}
```
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can:
- Read sensitive files (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, application configs)
- Access environment variables via /proc/self/environ
- Discover internal application structure
- Potentially read credentials and API keys
Workarounds
1. Disable the Docker API
2. Add authentication to the API
3. Use network-level filtering
