An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-27969 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- vitess.io/vitess (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.22.4, 0.23.3\n- vitess.io/vitess (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.22.4\n- vitess.io/vitess (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.22.4\n- vitess.io/vitess (Go): affected from 0.23.0-rc1; fixed in 0.23.3\n- vitess.io/vitess (Go): affected from 0.23.0-rc1; fixed in 0.23.3\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-2026-27969/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27969/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-27969","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27969/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-27969","record":{"aliases":["AZL-78359","AZL-78516","GHSA-r492-hjgh-c9gw","GO-2026-4570"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vitess database clustering","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with backup storage access can write arbitrary files during restore, leading to unauthorized access and command execution in the production environment.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"vitess","vendor":"linuxfoundation"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:L/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. Prior to versions 23.0.3 and 22.0.4, anyone with read/write access to the backup storage location (e.g. an S3 bucket) can manipulate backup manifest files so that files in the manifest — which may be files that they have also added to the manifest and backup contents — are written to any accessible location on restore. This is a common path traversal security issue. This can be used to provide that attacker with unintended/unauthorized access to the production deployment environment — allowing them to access information available in that environment as well as run any additional arbitrary commands there. Versions 23.0.3 and 22.0.4 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Vitess users with backup storage access can write to arbitrary file paths on restore","id":"CVE-2026-27969","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Angular i18n vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2026-27970"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.22.4","0.23.3"],"introduced":["0","0.23.0-rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"vitess.io/vitess","purl":"pkg:golang/vitess.io/vitess","source":"GO-2026-4570"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.22.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"vitess.io/vitess","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-r492-hjgh-c9gw"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.22.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"vitess.io/vitess","purl":"pkg:golang/vitess.io/vitess","source":"GHSA-r492-hjgh-c9gw"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.23.3"],"introduced":["0.23.0-rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"vitess.io/vitess","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-r492-hjgh-c9gw"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.23.3"],"introduced":["0.23.0-rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"vitess.io/vitess","purl":"pkg:golang/vitess.io/vitess","source":"GHSA-r492-hjgh-c9gw"}],"prev":{"headline":"Packistry accepts expired access tokens","id":"CVE-2026-27968"},"products":["vitess"],"published":"2026-02-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Vitess vttablet /twopcz reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2026-104252","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Vitess users with backup storage access can gain unauthorized access to production deployment environments","id":"CVE-2026-27965","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-26"},{"cvss_score":4.1,"headline":"Vitess VTAdmin users that can create shards can deny access to other functions","id":"CVE-2023-29195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-11"},{"cvss_score":4.1,"headline":"vitess allows users to create keyspaces that can deny access to already existing keyspaces","id":"CVE-2023-29194","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["vitessio"]},"summary":"Attackers with backup storage access can write arbitrary files during restore, leading to unauthorized access and command execution in the production environment.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27969/"}
