Actual Sync Server allows authenticated users to upload files through POST /sync/upload-user-file. In versions prior to 26.3.0, improper validation of the user-controlled x-actual-file-id header means that traversal segments (../) can escape the intended directory and write files outside userFiles.This issue affects prior versions of Actual Sync Server 26.3.0.

CVE-2026-3089 [MEDIUM] Actual Sync Server has an Authenticated Path Traversal
Actual Sync Server has an Authenticated Path Traversal
# Description
Actual Sync Server allows authenticated users to upload files through `POST /sync/upload-user-file`. In versions prior to 26.3.0, improper validation of the user-controlled `x-actual-file-id` header means that traversal segments (`../`) can escape the intended directory and write files outside `userFiles`.
## Mitigations
The vulnerability can be mitigated in prior versions by running the sync server in a filesystem sandbox.
