CVE-2024-25711

Local file disclosure via trusted GPG filename

Published Feb 11, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Path traversal in diffoscope before 256 allows local users to disclose arbitrary files by comparing a crafted GPG artifact. The GPG comparator passes --use-embedded-filenames to gpg, then trusts the embedded output filename when reading extracted content. Local users must cause diffoscope to process the artifact in a context that can read the targeted path, exposing files available to that process.
