CVE-2026-39859 has a CVSS score of 7.5/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which products are affected by CVE-2026-39859?

Affected package information for CVE-2026-39859 is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I patch CVE-2026-39859?

Apply the liquidjs liquidjs security patch or hotfix for CVE-2026-39859 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.

How do I detect CVE-2026-39859 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every liquidjs liquidjs deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-39859 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-39859?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-39859 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2026-39859 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-39859 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-2026-39859?

CVE-2026-39859 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 35th 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-2026-39859?

CVE-2026-39859 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.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2026-39859?

CVE-2026-39859 affects liquidjs liquidjs. Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

When was CVE-2026-39859 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-39859 was published on April 8, 2026 and was last updated on June 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

LiquidJS is a Shopify / GitHub Pages compatible template engine in pure JavaScript. Prior to 10.25.3, liquidjs 10.25.0 documents root as constraining filenames passed to renderFile() and parseFile(), but top-level file loads do not enforce that boundary. A Liquid instance configured with an empty temporary directory as root can return the contents of arbitrary files. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.25.3.
