{"id":"CVE-2026-74044","summary":"Wazuh 4.0.0 \u003c 4.14.6 Path Traversal Arbitrary Directory Deletion via Cluster Hello","details":"Wazuh 4.0.0 before 4.14.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated cluster peers to delete arbitrary directory contents by supplying a traversal-shaped node name in the cluster hello payload without validation. Attackers holding a valid cluster Fernet key can craft a malicious node name and disconnect, triggering the master's peer cleanup routine to remove the contents of arbitrary directories within the Wazuh installation path writable by the wazuh user.","aliases":["GHSA-f34r-fcjf-qx6j"],"modified":"2026-08-22T03:31:17.667190370Z","published":"2026-08-18T17:26:50.810Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-22"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/74xxx/CVE-2026-74044.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/74xxx/CVE-2026-74044.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/security/advisories/GHSA-f34r-fcjf-qx6j"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74044"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/wazuh-path-traversal-arbitrary-directory-deletion-via-cluster-hello"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/pull/36460"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh","events":[{"introduced":"8c2c62a6e9dcbcf2c792f7924e8cfdb26842820b"},{"fixed":"44c2925b46bd058d2426bd44ed1b3e5d7b7b03b4"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"4.0.0"},{"fixed":"4.14.6"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","DESCRIPTION"]}}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-74044.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
