The make_path() function follows symlinks pointing outside the destination tree while creating intermediate directories without verifying that created paths remain within the destination boundary, enabling arbitrary file writes on the receiver's filesystem.","published":"2026-08-13T15:19:42.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-24T16:10:00.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":6.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-59"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00192,"percentile":0.08799,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.19%).
