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-2026-70460 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: RsyncProject rsync. 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-2026-70460/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70460/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-70460","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70460/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-70460","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-70460","AZL-95828","BELL-CVE-2026-70460","CLSA-2026-1792173472","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-70460","ECHO-d837-aa5e-cf4e","GHSA-w3xf-j2r2-gv4x","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-70460","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-70460"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"rsync file synchronization","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious sender can exploit symlinks in rsync to write files outside the intended module root, requiring specific command-line options.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.2,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"rsync 2.3.3 before 3.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious sender to escape the module root by exploiting symlinks within the module file tree when using --partial-dir or --backup-dir options.
