Red Hat bubblewrap. During sandbox setup: link following
High8.8CVE-2026-87766 · Published Sep 9, 2026 · updated Sep 22, 2026
A flaw was found in bubblewrap. During sandbox setup, creating files or directories under the new root can follow a parent symlink onto the host via /oldroot, writing attacker-chosen paths outside the sandbox as the launching user. This happens before the sandboxed process starts. This issue is GHSA-pxhw-h44j-8pfx. It is fixed in bubblewrap 0.12.0.
