CVE-2026-63293 Arbitrary File Read/Write: metadata.yaml symlink in image allows host filesystem access as root

A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary file read and write operations on the host system. When importing or unpacking an image archive, LXD fails to validate whether the metadata.yaml file is a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a...

rclone: Unvalidated symlink target in local `--links` — arbitrary file write from an untrusted remote

Summary With -l/--links, rclone serializes symlinks as .rclonelink text objects whose body is the link target. When rclone writes such an object to a local destination, it recreates the symlink with os.Symlink, and performs NO validation of the target. If the source is attacker-controlled, the...

CVE-2026-54572

Rogue symlink handling in rclone before 1.74.4: when using -l/--links, rclone serializes symlinks as .rclonelink and recreates them locally without validating the target, allowing an attacker-controlled remote to plant an escaping symlink and cause subsequent writes to land outside the destinatio...

CVE-2026-54572 rclone: Unvalidated symlink target in local `--links` — arbitrary file write from an untrusted remote

Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Prior to 1.74.4, with -l/--links, rclone serializes symlinks as .rclonelink text objects and recreates them on a local destination without validating the target, allowing an...

decompress: decompress: path traversal via indexOf containment bypass allows arbitrary file write (bypass of CVE-2020-12265 fix)

A flaw was found in the decompress component. An improper path containment check allows a local attacker to perform directory traversal. This vulnerability, when combined with unvalidated symlink creation, enables an attacker to write arbitrary files to directories outside the intended extraction...

CVE-2026-39245

decompress before 4.2.2 contains an improper path containment check that enables directory traversal and arbitrary file write. The safeMakeDir function index.js line 29 and the extraction path validation index.js line 106 use String.indexOf to verify the resolved path is within the output...

extract-zip unvalidated symlink path traversal

extract-zip does not validate symlink targets when extracting zip archives. When processing a malicious zip file containing a symlink with a relative path like '../../../../etc/passwd', extract-zip will extract the symlink without validation, allowing it to point outside the extraction directory...
