{"id":"CVE-2026-85731","published":"2026-09-16T17:18:15.833","lastModified":"2026-09-16T18:17:17.963","description":"oras-go is a Go library for managing OCI artifacts. Prior to 2.6.2, content/file.Store extraction of OCI layers marked with io.deis.oras.content.unpack=true can write outside the store working directory. The pushDir path through extractTarDirectory and ensureLinkPath validates symlink targets lexically, resolveRelToBase skips its parent-symlink walk for root-level entries, and writeFile follows a terminal symlink when opening a regular file. A malicious archive can therefore create a symlink chain whose lexical target remains inside the extraction root but whose resolved target is an attacker-selected absolute path, then overwrite that target with a same-named regular-file entry even when AllowPathTraversalOnWrite is false. Pulling an attacker-controlled artifact can create or overwrite any file writable by the process and may lead to code execution. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.2.","cvssScore":8.8,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-22","CWE-59"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/commit/adab2f25ea95ef4e6e41f50db9266a6701399422","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/releases/tag/v2.6.2","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/security/advisories/GHSA-m37j-52j7-pjw7","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/security/advisories/GHSA-m37j-52j7-pjw7","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/commit/adab2f25ea95ef4e6e41f50db9266a6701399422","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/releases/tag/v2.6.2","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/security/advisories/GHSA-m37j-52j7-pjw7","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/security/advisories/GHSA-m37j-52j7-pjw7","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
