CVE-2026-61792Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Host file disclosure via followed child symlinks

Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026

Path traversal in Weblate before 2026.7 allows remote authenticated users with project-administrator access to read host files. App store metadata ZIP generation follows child symbolic links without rechecking that resolved files remain inside the downloaded repository tree. Project-administrator privileges and a repository containing a crafted child symlink are required, and successful exploitation discloses readable host-file contents.
