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-2026-97024 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. 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-2026-97024/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97024/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97024","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97024/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97024","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-97024","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97024"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Flatpak package manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious Flatpak app can exploit path traversal to overwrite critical system files as root during installation, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"A path traversal vulnerability in Flatpak's handling of the files/etc directory during app deployment allows a malicious Flatpak app to cause certain host system files (such as passwd, group, machine-id, or resolv.conf) to be emptied or replaced with a symlink when the app is installed or upgraded.
