A flaw was found in radare2. A local attacker can exploit this path traversal vulnerability by importing a specially crafted .zrp archive. This malicious archive contains a symlinked notes.txt file that bypasses directory confinement checks, allowing the attacker to read or write arbitrary files outside the configured project directory.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-23 21:01:31 UTC 
radare2 prior to 6.1.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability in its project notes handling that allows attackers to read or write files outside the configured project directory by importing a malicious .zrp archive containing a symlinked notes.txt file. Attackers can craft a .zrp archive with a symlinked notes.txt that bypasses directory confinement checks, allowing note operations to follow the symlink and access arbitrary files outside the dir.projects root directory.
