CVE-2026-59682Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file overwrite via unchecked profile path

Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026

Path traversal in OpenRGB through 1.0rc3 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files through the SDK server's SAVE_PROFILE message. ProfileManager::SaveProfile joins the client-supplied profile name to the configuration directory without rejecting absolute paths or parent-directory components, then truncates the resulting file. The protocol requires no authentication; remote exposure requires a reachable server, while older builds require a local symlink, and damage is bounded by the daemon's filesystem privileges.
