What is CVE-2026-95627?
CVE-2026-95627 is a high-severity vulnerability in tauri-plugin-dialog, published on 23 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
When a Tauri application uses the dialog plugin's file or folder picker, an attacker with JavaScript execution (XSS) can force the scope expansion to be recursive, granting read/write access to an entire directory tree after a single user click on a normal-looking OS file dialog. The user has no indication that recursive access was granted, and the expanded scope cannot be revoked for the lifetime of the application.
