CVE-2026-96275 · Flatpak: flatpak: arbitrary write access as root via extra-data extraction
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
A malicious or compromised Flatpak repository can write attacker-controlled content to arbitrary locations on the host filesystem via extract_extra_data(). On system installs, the write happens as root. Two issues combine: `files/extra` is resolved via path operations that follow symlinks, and blob names from `xa.extra-data-sources` are not sanitized against `..` traversal.
