The make_path() function follows symlinks pointing outside the destination tree while creating intermediate directories without verifying that created paths remain within the destination boundary, enabling arbitrary file writes on the receiver's filesystem.","published":"2026-08-13T15:19:42.403","modified":"2026-08-13T15:19:42.403","cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/releases/tag/v3.5.0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/security/advisories/GHSA-pph3-7xmf-rrqg"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/rsync-path-traversal-write-escape-via-relative-mode"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-13T15:19:42.403"}}
