An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-48024 exists.\n\nAffected product: Wazuh Wazuh. 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-2026-48024/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48024/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-48024","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48024/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-48024","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gh4h-fx78-q8xc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wazuh security platform","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A cluster peer can exploit path traversal to overwrite configuration files, leading to arbitrary code execution with root privileges on the Wazuh manager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"wazuh","vendor":"wazuh"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.0.0 until 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3, cluster.unmerge_info() in framework/wazuh/core/cluster/cluster.py constructs paths from peer-controlled merge_type and name values in a merged synchronization archive. process_files_from_worker() in framework/wazuh/core/cluster/master.py does not adequately confine the resulting path to the declared cluster item directory. A cluster peer holding the shared Fernet key can use traversal in files_metadata.json or a merged-file header to write files such as /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf. Replacing ossec.conf can configure root-executed commands and lead to code execution when Wazuh services reload. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Wazuh: merged-file header path traversal in cluster sync allows arbitrary file write under WAZUH_PATH in Wazuh manager","id":"CVE-2026-48024","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wazuh:wazuh","products":["wazuh:wazuh"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"nebula-mesh: Decrypted CA private key persists in heap after signing","id":"CVE-2026-48025"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"@hapi/wreck: Sensitive credential headers leak across cross-port and cross-scheme redirects","id":"CVE-2026-48022"},"products":["wazuh"],"published":"2026-08-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Wazuh Server Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-24016","kev_date_added":"2025-06-10","published":"2025-02-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Wazuh Analysis Engine Event Decoder Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-32038","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-44079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"Remote code execution and local privilege escalation in Wazuh Windows agent via NetNTLMv2 hash theft","id":"CVE-2024-1243","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-11"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Wazuh cluster worker file sync allows arbitrary file write under /var/ossec (incomplete fix for CVE-2026-30893)","id":"CVE-2026-61800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Path traversal in wazuh","id":"CVE-2026-48162","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-21","vendors":["wazuh"]},"summary":"A cluster peer can exploit path traversal to overwrite configuration files, leading to arbitrary code execution with root privileges on the Wazuh manager.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48024/"}
