{"id":"RUSTSEC-2026-0368","summary":"zip: `ZipArchive::extract` creates symbolic links whose attacker-controlled targets are outside the destination directory","details":"In `zip` 9.0.0-pre2, `ZipArchive::extract` creates a symbolic link from an archive entry after validating only the output entry path. The link target bytes are passed directly to the platform symlink API, so a malicious archive can create an entry inside the destination that resolves to an attacker-chosen path outside it. This behavior was verified on macOS and Linux. On either platform, a subsequent application read or write through that extracted entry accesses the external target with the extracting process's permissions.\n\nFor further details see: https://github.com/zip-rs/zip2/security/advisories/GHSA-4v9h-p7m9-rh26","aliases":["GHSA-4v9h-p7m9-rh26"],"modified":"2026-10-16T23:30:02.383750571Z","published":"2026-10-09T12:00:00Z","database_specific":{"license":"CC0-1.0"},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://crates.io/crates/zip"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0368.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"zip","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/zip"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.0.0-0"},{"fixed":"9.0.0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"affects":{"functions":[],"arch":[],"os":[]},"affected_functions":null},"database_specific":{"categories":["privilege-escalation"],"cvss":null,"informational":null,"source":"https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db/blob/osv/crates/RUSTSEC-2026-0368.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
