CVE-2022-41874

Nearby file disclosure via unescaped glob metacharacters

Published Nov 10, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Improper access control in Tauri 1.0.0 through 1.0.6 and 1.1.0 through 1.1.1 allows attackers to read nearby files via crafted paths. File-dialog and drag-and-drop handlers add selected paths to the filesystem allowlist without escaping glob metacharacters, so the scope matcher expands those characters as patterns. Exploitation requires selection of a pre-existing malicious file or directory plus adversary-controlled logic; access remains limited to neighboring files and subdirectories of an allowed path.
