  - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in erlang
    rebar3 allows a malicious package publisher to delete a directory outside the project's _build directory
    and extract package files into it when a developer fetches dependencies. A package release's dependencies
    in a Hex registry carry an app field that names the dependency's OTP application. rebar3 uses this field
    as the dependency's name without validating it (rebar_packages:parse_deps/1) and builds the dependency's
    directory from that name (rebar_app_utils:dep_to_app/7). rebar_fetch:download_source_online/2 deletes that
    directory with rm -rf and moves the fetched package into it. hex.pm didn't restrict the field to a
    directory name before 2026-10-12, so a publisher could set it to a value such as ../../../../target. When
    a project depends on such a release directly or transitively, rebar3 get-deps deletes the directory the
    name resolves to and writes the dependency's files there. This happens before the dependency's own
    rebar.config.script is evaluated, and get-deps compiles nothing. This issue affects rebar3: from 3.7.0-rc1
    before 3.27.2. (CVE-2026-103060)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
