CVE-2022-46171

Path disclosure via permissive glob matching

Published Dec 23, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

Path traversal in Tauri affected releases allows attackers to read unintended files via filesystem glob scopes. The fs scope matcher treats , ?, and [...] as matching path separators and leading dots, so a pattern such as $HOME/.key reaches files in hidden subdirectories. The exposure requires an application to grant wildcard filesystem scopes and an attacker to reach the app's authenticated or adjacent frontend context; impact is unauthorized confidentiality of files, with no integrity or availability effect reported.
