What is CVE-2026-61792?
CVE-2026-61792 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in WeblateOrg weblate, published on 26 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Weblate is a web-based continuous localization platform used to manage software translations. In versions prior to 2026.7, a project administrator can read files outside their repository through the App store metadata download feature, which resolves attacker-influenced paths without adequately confining them to the repository. This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-34242, whose original patch failed to fully prevent the path traversal, allowing the arbitrary file read to persist. A user with project-administrator privileges can therefore disclose the contents of files on the Weblate host that lie outside the project's repository. This issue is fixed in version 2026.7.
