Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-45725 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- compliance-trestle (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.12.2, 4.0.3\n- compliance-trestle (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.12.2\n- compliance-trestle (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.12.2\n- compliance-trestle (PyPI): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.0.3\n- compliance-trestle (PyPI): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.0.3\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-2026-45725/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45725/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45725","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45725/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45725","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g3vg-vx23-3858","PYSEC-2026-2424"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python compliance tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files to the filesystem via path traversal in the remote fetching cache mechanism of the compliance-trestle library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"compliance-trestle is a tooling platform for managing compliance as code. Prior to versiions 3.12.2 and 4.0.3, the compliance-trestle library's remote fetching cache mechanism (HTTPSFetcher and SFTPFetcher) constructs the local cache file path from the URL path component without sanitizing path traversal sequences (`../`). When a remote OSCAL profile references a URL with traversal in its path, the HTTP response body is written to a location outside the intended cache directory, enabling arbitrary file write with attacker-controlled content to the filesystem. Versions 3.12.3 and 4.0.3 patch the issue.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"compliance-trestle Remote Fetching Mechanism has an Arbitrary File Write via Cache Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-45725","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Omni: Reader-level users can retrieve imported cluster CA keys via ResourceService","id":"CVE-2026-45726"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.12.2","4.0.3"],"introduced":["0","4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"compliance-trestle","purl":"pkg:pypi/compliance-trestle","source":"PYSEC-2026-2424"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.12.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"compliance-trestle","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-g3vg-vx23-3858"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.12.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"compliance-trestle","purl":"pkg:pypi/compliance-trestle","source":"GHSA-g3vg-vx23-3858"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.0.3"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"compliance-trestle","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-g3vg-vx23-3858"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.0.3"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"compliance-trestle","purl":"pkg:pypi/compliance-trestle","source":"GHSA-g3vg-vx23-3858"}],"prev":{"headline":"Omni: Operator can traverse image-factory API paths via unsanitized `talos_version` in CreateSchematic","id":"CVE-2026-45723"},"products":["compliance-trestle"],"published":"2026-08-13","related":[],"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":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":"2026-08-17","vendors":["oscal-compass"]},"summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files to the filesystem via path traversal in the remote fetching cache mechanism of the compliance-trestle library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45725/"}
