CVE-2024-47515Network attack vector

Administrator takeover via archived symlink targets

Published Dec 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 12, 2025

Symlink following in Pagure 5.14.1 allows remote authenticated users to disclose local files through repository archive generation. generate_archive() dereferences repository symlinks and places each target's contents in the ZIP instead of storing the link itself. Repository write access is required; disclosed server secrets permit forged administrator sessions and takeover of the Pagure instance.
