CVE-2026-108759
mistral.rs 0.9.0 through 0.9.4 contains a link following vulnerability in mistralrs-code-exec that allows sandboxed shell code to read and overwrite files outside the sandbox via symlinks.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.32%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
mistral.rs 0.9.0 through 0.9.4 contains a link following vulnerability in mistralrs-code-exec that allows sandboxed shell code to read and overwrite files outside the sandbox via symlinks.
