An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-62369 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (Go): affected from 1.16.0; fixed in 1.21.2, 1.22.2, 1.23.1\n- github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (Go): affected from 1.16.0; fixed in 1.21.2\n- github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (Go): affected from 1.16.0; fixed in 1.21.2\n- github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (Go): affected from 1.22.0; fixed in 1.22.2\n- github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (Go): affected from 1.22.0; fixed in 1.22.2\n- github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (Go): affected from 1.23.0; fixed in 1.23.1\n- github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (Go): affected from 1.23.0; fixed in 1.23.1\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-2026-62369/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62369/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-62369","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62369/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-62369","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v","GO-2026-6563"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"KubeEdge edge node tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files on Windows edge nodes via path traversal in keadm, enabling persistent system modification or code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"KubeEdge is an open source system for extending native containerized application orchestration capabilities to hosts at Edge. From 1.16.0 until 1.21.2, 1.22.2, and 1.23.1, the DecompressTarGz function in keadm/cmd/keadm/app/cmd/util/common.go joins archive entry names to the extraction destination without sufficient validation. During keadm join or installation on Windows edge nodes, an archive influenced through a compromised, replaced, or untrusted download source can contain parent-directory components, Windows-style backslashes, absolute paths, or drive-prefixed paths that escape the intended directory. The affected keadm process can consequently write or overwrite files with its own privileges, potentially modifying configuration, executable, or service files and enabling persistent system modification or code execution. This issue is fixed in versions 1.21.2, 1.22.2, and 1.23.1.","ecosystems":["Go"],"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":"KubeEdge: keadm DecompressTarGz path traversal enables arbitrary file write on Windows during edge node join","id":"CVE-2026-62369","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":7,"n_references":13,"next":{"headline":"KubeEdge: Unbounded allocation in viaduct packer enables authenticated remote DoS against CloudHub","id":"CVE-2026-62370"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.21.2","1.22.2","1.23.1"],"introduced":["1.16.0","1.22.0","1.23.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","source":"GO-2026-6563"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.21.2"],"introduced":["1.16.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.21.2"],"introduced":["1.16.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","source":"GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.22.2"],"introduced":["1.22.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.22.2"],"introduced":["1.22.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","source":"GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.23.1"],"introduced":["1.23.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.23.1"],"introduced":["1.23.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge","source":"GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v"}],"prev":{"headline":"Snipe-IT: Stored XSS via Custom Field name in asset-list column headers","id":"CVE-2026-62368"},"products":["kubeedge"],"published":"2026-09-21","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":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"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":"2026-09-24","vendors":["kubeedge"]},"summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files on Windows edge nodes via path traversal in keadm, enabling persistent system modification or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62369/"}
