Routine

HIGH 8.4

CVE-2026-46345 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.4) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

compliance-trestle is a tooling platform for managing compliance as code. Prior to versions 3.12.2 and 4.0.3, the `-o/--output` argument in `trestle author jinja` allows writing files outside the intended workspace. The application does not properly validate, `../`, `..\`, or absolute paths. This allows arbitrary file write to attacker-controlled locations. Versions 3.12.3 and 4.0.3 patch the issue.
