Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-55092)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to write arbitrary files on the host filesystem.

The vulnerability exists due to path traversal in OCI artifact download handling when processing a crafted artifact manifest annotation. A remote user can supply a crafted OCI artifact with a malicious org.opencontainers.image.title annotation to write arbitrary files on the host filesystem.

Exploitation requires Trivy to be directed to an attacker-controlled OCI artifact through a repository override or module installation input. The impact is limited to the privilege boundary of the user running Trivy.
