    Package        : opam
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-57825

    Kate Deplaix reported that .install file directives were insufficiently
    restricted in OPAM, a package manager for OCaml. Installing files
    through .install files did not check symlinks resolution on the target
    path, which could result in directory traversal out of the package area.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.0-1+deb13u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your opam packages.

    For the detailed security status of opam please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/opam
