CVE-2026-115392: Wasmtime before 24.0.13, 25.0.0 before 36.0.14, 37.0.0 before 46.0.3, and 47.0.0 before 47.0.4 allows a filesy
CVE-2026-115392 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.9) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Wasmtime before 24.0.13, 25.0.0 before 36.0.14, 37.0.0 before 46.0.3, and 47.0.0 before 47.0.4 allows a filesystem sandbox escape in wasmtime-wasi because its cap-std dependency mishandles symlinks with trailing slashes on macOS and Linux kernels lacking openat2. A guest with write access to any sandboxed directory can read and write any host-accessible file, and read-only guests may read host files via preexisting symlinks.
Why this priority
- High severity
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
