CVE-2026-44942
A path traversal in handling the "path" component of .repo files processed by libzypp before 17.38.13 in the 17.x series, or before 16.22.19 could be used by attackers to fill directories on the system outside of the zypp cache with content.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
