How severe is CVE-2026-3089?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-3089 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-3089?

CVE-2026-3089 affects the following packages: @actual-app/sync-server (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-3089?

Update @actual-app/sync-server to 26.3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-3089 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-3089 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @actual-app/sync-server, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-3089 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-3089?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-3089 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-3089 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-3089 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-3089?

CVE-2026-3089 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 32th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-3089?

CVE-2026-3089 is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2026-3089 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-3089 was published on March 9, 2026 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Exploitation Status

Proof-of-concept exploit code exists

CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.

Description

Actual Sync Server allows authenticated users to upload files through POST /sync/upload-user-file. In versions prior to 26.3.0, improper validation of the user-controlled x-actual-file-id header means that traversal segments (../) can escape the intended directory and write files outside userFiles.This issue affects prior versions of Actual Sync Server 26.3.0.
