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-2026-85518/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85518/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-85518","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85518/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-85518","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-85518","ECHO-2455-2827-339c","GHSA-vp9g-975v-q4cm","openSUSE-SU-2026:12249-1"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A flaw was found in OpenSCAP. When decomposing a Source DataStream (SDS) file, the application does not properly validate relative file path attributes, leading to a path traversal vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this flaw by tricking a user or automated system into decomposing a crafted datastream containing directory traversal sequences. Successful exploitation allows unauthorized file creation or modification outside the intended target directory with the permissions of the executing process.","ecosystems":["openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Openscap: openscap: arbitrary file write via path traversal in source datastream decomposition","id":"CVE-2026-85518","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Unauthenticated arbitrary file write leading to RCE in gmfeed PrestaShop module","id":"CVE-2026-85520"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["1.4.6-1.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openscap","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/openscap\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2026:12249-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"code-projects Vehicle Management System SQL Database Backup File vehicle_management.sql information disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-85517"},"products":["Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9","Red Hat Hardened Images"],"published":"2026-10-21","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-29","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85518/"}
