CVE 5.9 MEDIUM

Multiple Path Traversal Variants in awslabs/tough_CVE-2026-6968

5.9 / 10
MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L

Description

Incomplete path traversal fixes in awslabs/tough before tough-v0.22.0 allow remote authenticated users with delegated signing authority to write files outside intended output directories via absolute target names in copy_target/link_target, symlinked parent directories in save_target, or symlinked metadata filenames in SignedRole::write, because write paths trust the joined destination path without post-resolution containment verification.

We recommend you upgrade to tough-v0.22.0 / tuftool-v0.15.0.
