It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-102740 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AsyncHttpClient async-http-client. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102740/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102740/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-102740","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102740/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-102740","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-102740","GHSA-cf59-3jcr-vfhw","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-102740"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Java HTTP client library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can read sensitive download URLs or overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks in AsyncHttpClient's resumable download feature.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"},{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"},{"id":"CWE-379","name":"Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions"}],"description":"The AsyncHttpClient library allows Java applications to execute HTTP requests and asynchronously process HTTP responses. From 2.0.0 until 2.16.1 and 3.0.12, PropertiesBasedResumableProcessor stores resumable download state at the predictable shared path $java.io.tmpdir/ahc/ResumableAsyncHandler.properties with default permissions and link-following file operations. A local user who can read the shared store can see download URLs, including embedded user information or query tokens. A local user who can write within or pre-create the affected shared store directory can plant a symbolic link that the client follows when saving state, truncating and overwriting a target file writable by the client process. The filesystem path is used when ResumableAsyncHandler decorates another AsyncHandler, while the no-argument constructors use a no-op processor and are unaffected. This issue is fixed in versions 2.16.1 and 3.0.12.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"AsyncHttpClient: Resumable download index store is created world-readable and follows a planted symlink","id":"CVE-2026-102740","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Dgraph: Zero Unauthenticated HTTP Admin removeNode Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2026-102748"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"asteval sandbox escape: arbitrary native memory read/write via numpy ctypes in default asteval Interpreter","id":"CVE-2026-102734"},"products":["async-http-client"],"published":"2026-10-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["AsyncHttpClient"]},"summary":"Local attackers can read sensitive download URLs or overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks in AsyncHttpClient's resumable download feature.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102740/"}
