Red Hat Enterprise Linux: path traversal
High8.8CVE-2026-96275 · Published Sep 23, 2026 · updated Sep 25, 2026
A malicious or compromised Flatpak repository can write attacker-controlled content to arbitrary locations on the host filesystem via extract_extra_data(). On system installs, the write happens as root. Two issues combine: `files/extra` is resolved via path operations that follow symlinks, and blob names from `xa.extra-data-sources` are not sanitized against `..` traversal.
