An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-35525 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- liquidjs (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 10.25.3\n- liquidjs (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 10.25.3\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-2026-35525/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35525/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-35525","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35525/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-35525","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-HT72658","GHSA-56p5-8mhr-2fph","MINI-3mqq-vm6m-mq32","MINI-mhgv-94r8-gj9m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript template engine","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass template root restrictions via symlinks to read arbitrary files outside the allowed directory in LiquidJS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"liquidjs","vendor":"liquidjs"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"LiquidJS is a Shopify / GitHub Pages compatible template engine in pure JavaScript. Prior to 10.25.3, for {% include %}, {% render %}, and {% layout %}, LiquidJS checks whether the candidate path is inside the configured partials or layouts roots before reading it. That check is path-based, not realpath-based. Because of that, a file like partials/link.liquid passes the directory containment check as long as its pathname is under the allowed root. If link.liquid is actually a symlink to a file outside the allowed root, the filesystem follows the symlink when the file is opened and LiquidJS renders the external target. So the restriction is applied to the path string that was requested, not to the file that is actually read. This matters in environments where an attacker can place templates or otherwise influence files under a trusted template root, including uploaded themes, extracted archives, mounted content, or repository-controlled template trees. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.25.3.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"LiquidJS has a root restriction bypass for partial and layout loading through symlinked templates","id":"CVE-2026-35525","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Strawberry GraphQL affected by a Denial of Service via unbounded WebSocket subscriptions","id":"CVE-2026-35526"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["10.25.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"liquidjs","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-56p5-8mhr-2fph"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["10.25.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"liquidjs","purl":"pkg:npm/liquidjs","source":"GHSA-56p5-8mhr-2fph"}],"prev":{"headline":"Authentication bypass in strawberry-graphql via legacy graphql-ws WebSocket subprotocol","id":"CVE-2026-35523"},"products":["liquidjs"],"published":"2026-04-08","related":[{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"liquidjs has a path traversal fallback vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-30952","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"LiquidJS is vulnerable to Denial of Service via circular block reference in layout","id":"CVE-2026-41311","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"LiquidJS: memoryLimit Bypass through Negative Range Values Leads to Process Crash","id":"CVE-2026-33285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"LiquidJS has Exponential Memory Amplification through its replace_first Filter $\u0026 Pattern","id":"CVE-2026-33287","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-26"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"LiquidJS has a renderFile() / parseFile() bypass configured root and allow arbitrary file read","id":"CVE-2026-39859","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-08"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"LiquidJS: ownPropertyOnly bypass via sort_natural filter — prototype property information disclosure through sorting side-channel","id":"CVE-2026-39412","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-08"}],"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":"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-08","vendors":["harttle"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass template root restrictions via symlinks to read arbitrary files outside the allowed directory in LiquidJS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35525/"}
