{"id":"CVE-2026-43895","summary":"jq: Embedded NUL in jq import paths causes local redaction-policy bypass and preserves sensitive fields in published artifacts","details":"jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, jq accepts embedded NUL bytes in import paths at the jq-language level, but later resolves those paths through C string operations during module and data-file lookup. This creates a mismatch between the logical import string that policy or audit code may validate and the on-disk path that jq actually opens.","aliases":["GHSA-7q7g-mrq3-phxr"],"modified":"2026-08-04T11:50:57.403051860Z","published":"2026-05-11T17:24:02.880Z","related":["openSUSE-SU-2026:10850-1"],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-158","CWE-20"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/43xxx/CVE-2026-43895.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/43xxx/CVE-2026-43895.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/jqlang/jq/security/advisories/GHSA-7q7g-mrq3-phxr"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-43895"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/jqlang/jq","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"4467af7068b1bcd7f882defff6e7ea674c5357f4"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1.8.1"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["jq-1.8.1","jq-1.8.0","jq-1.7.1","jq-1.7","jq-1.7rc2","jq-1.7rc1","jq-1.6","1.6rc2","jq-1.6rc1","jq-1.5rc2","jq-1.5rc1","jq-1.4","jq-1.3","jq-1.2","jq-1.1","jq-1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-43895.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"}]}
