Doc Text:
A flaw was found in OSV-SCALIBR. This vulnerability allows an attacker who controls the scan target to write arbitrary files to the host system. When scanning a crafted Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) image, insufficient validation of archive path entries in the embedded filesystem extractor allows extracted files to escape the intended destination directory.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-29 19:55:40 UTC
A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the embedded VMDK filesystem extractor in Google OSV-SCALIBR versions 0.3.6 through 0.5.0 allows an attacker who controls the scan target to write arbitrary files to the host system. When scanning crafted VMDK images, insufficient validation of archive path entries allows file extractions to escape destination directories.
