CVE-2026-34078

CVE-2026-34078 · Flatpak has a complete sandbox escape leading to host file access and code execution in the host context

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. Prior to 1.16.4, the Flatpak portal accepts paths in the sandbox-expose options which can be app-controlled symlinks pointing at arbitrary paths. Flatpak run mounts the resolved host path in the sandbox. This gives apps access to all host files and can be used as a primitive to gain code execution in the host context. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.4.
