Wget2: arbitrary file write via metalink path traversal in gnu wget2_CVE-2025-69194

{
    "lastseen": "",
    "description": "A security issue was discovered in GNU Wget2 when handling Metalink documents. The application fails to properly validate file paths provided in Metalink <file name> elements. An attacker can abuse this behavior to write files to unintended locations on the system. This can lead to data loss or potentially allow further compromise of the user\u2019s environment.",
