An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-47261 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- wasmtime-wasi (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 24.0.9\n- wasmtime-wasi (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 24.0.9\n- wasmtime-wasi (crates.io): affected from 0.0.0-0; fixed in 24.0.9, 36.0.10, 44.0.2, 45.0.0\n- wasmtime-wasi (crates.io): affected from 25.0.0; fixed in 36.0.10\n- wasmtime-wasi (crates.io): affected from 25.0.0; fixed in 36.0.10\n- wasmtime-wasi (crates.io): affected from 37.0.0; fixed in 44.0.2\n- wasmtime-wasi (crates.io): affected from 37.0.0; fixed in 44.0.2\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-2026-47261/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-47261/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-47261","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-47261/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-47261","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-47261","GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph","JLSEC-2026-1366","RUSTSEC-2026-0149","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-47261"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WebAssembly runtime","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass read-only file restrictions in Wasmtime WASI embeddings by using the TRUNCATE flag, allowing unauthorized file modification.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"wasmtime","vendor":"bytecodealliance"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. In versions prior to 24.0.9, 36.0.10, and 44.0.2, when a filesystem preopen is given DirPerms::all() and FilePerms::READ without FilePerms::WRITE, this access control mechanism can be bypassed via the wasip2 descriptor.open-at or wasip1 path_open interfaces by opening a file with only the OpenFlags::TRUNCATE oflag. The root cause is that the clause handling OpenFlags::TRUNCATE in crates/wasi/src/filesystem.rs (Dir::open_at, lines 967–969) did not set open_mode |= OpenMode::WRITE;, which is later used for the access control check against FilePerms to determine whether opening the file is permitted; the single-line fix adds that missing assignment, after which the affected calls correctly fail with error-code.not-permitted and ERRNO_PERM respectively. Only wasmtime-wasi embeddings that combine DirPerms::MUTATE with FilePerms::READ are affected by this bug. In particular, the Wasmtime project's wasmtime-cli's use of wasmtime-wasi is not affected, because it always sets FilePerms::all() for all preopens. This issue has been fixed in versions 24.0.9, 36.0.10 and44.0.2.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"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":"Wasmtime: WASI path_open(TRUNCATE) bypasses `FilePerms::WRITE` host restriction","id":"CVE-2026-47261","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":7,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"containerd image-triggered runtime DoS via unbounded group parsing","id":"CVE-2026-47262"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["24.0.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wasmtime-wasi","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["24.0.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wasmtime-wasi","purl":"pkg:cargo/wasmtime-wasi","source":"GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["24.0.9","36.0.10","44.0.2","45.0.0"],"introduced":["0.0.0-0","25.0.0","37.0.0","45.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wasmtime-wasi","purl":"pkg:cargo/wasmtime-wasi","source":"RUSTSEC-2026-0149"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["36.0.10"],"introduced":["25.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wasmtime-wasi","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["36.0.10"],"introduced":["25.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wasmtime-wasi","purl":"pkg:cargo/wasmtime-wasi","source":"GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["44.0.2"],"introduced":["37.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wasmtime-wasi","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["44.0.2"],"introduced":["37.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wasmtime-wasi","purl":"pkg:cargo/wasmtime-wasi","source":"GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph"}],"prev":{"headline":"Koel Vulnerable to SSRF via Podcast Episode Enclosure URLs","id":"CVE-2026-47260"},"products":["wasmtime"],"published":"2026-06-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Wasmtime miscompiled guest heap access enables sandbox escape on aarch64 Cranelift","id":"CVE-2026-34971","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-09"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Wasmtime with Winch compiler backend on aarch64 may allow a sandbox-escaping memory access","id":"CVE-2026-34987","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Wasmtime vulnerable to data leakage between instances in the pooling allocator","id":"CVE-2022-39393","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Use after free in Wasmtime","id":"CVE-2022-24791","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-31"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Wasmtime has a Heap OOB read in component model UTF-16 to latin1+utf16 string transcoding","id":"CVE-2026-34941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-09"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Wasmtime is vulnerable to panic when dropping a `[Typed]Func::call_async` future","id":"CVE-2026-27195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-24"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"RustSec","prefix":"RUSTSEC"},{"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-16","vendors":["bytecodealliance"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass read-only file restrictions in Wasmtime WASI embeddings by using the TRUNCATE flag, allowing unauthorized file modification.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-47261/"}
