Out-of-directory artifact write via unresolved traversal
Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Path traversal in BBOT 1.1.7 through 2.8.6 allows remote attackers to write artifacts outside the output directory via a crafted URL. The github_workflows module checks a CODE_REPOSITORY-derived path without resolving parent-directory components, then writes the downloaded artifact to the resulting path. An operator must run the module against the crafted repository; traversal is limited to two directory levels, and configuration determines the destination.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
