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-2026-78299 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Eclipse Embedded CDT (C/C++ Development Tools). 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-2026-78299/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78299/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78299","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78299/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78299","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-24hx-44cp-gqfx","GHSA-qch4-8rmp-mjx3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Eclipse Embedded CDT","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files outside the intended directory via compromised CMSIS packs, potentially leading to code execution or data modification.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"eclipse","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"In Eclipse Embedded CDT versions 6.0 to 6.7 if the CMSIS-Pack archive extracts a compromised CMSIS pack the archive extraction can extract files to locations outside of the pack, allowing writing of arbitrary files to other locations on disk.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Path traversal in Eclipse Embedded CDT (C/C++ Development Tools)","id":"CVE-2026-78299","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Out-of-zone database nodes can become authoritative zone cuts","id":"CVE-2026-78301"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress FluentAuth plugin \u003c= 2.1.2 - Email Verification Bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-78296"},"products":["Eclipse Embedded CDT (C/C++ Development Tools)"],"published":"2026-09-14","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-14","vendors":["Eclipse Foundation"]},"summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files outside the intended directory via compromised CMSIS packs, potentially leading to code execution or data modification.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78299/"}
