Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Insecure Temporary File (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25645)

CWE-ID: CWE-377 - Insecure Temporary File

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to overwrite or substitute extracted files.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure temporary file handling in requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths() when extracting files from zip archives into the system temporary directory. A local user can pre-create a malicious file to overwrite or substitute extracted files.

Only applications that call extract_zipped_paths() directly are affected. User interaction is required to process a crafted zip archive.
