CVE-2026-53940

A flaw was found in Conda, a system-level binary package and environment manager. An unvalidated entry-point command in a noarch:python package's metadata allows a malicious package to use path traversal. This enables writing files outside the intended installation directory or overwriting existi...

CVE-2026-53940 Conda: Entry-point path traversal in noarch:python install (arbitrary file write) — canonical Python implementation

Conda is a system-level binary package and environment manager that runs on major operating systems and platforms. Prior to 26.5.2, parseentrypointdef in conda/common/path/python.py accepted an unvalidated entry-point command from a noarch:python package's info/link.json metadata...
