Attackers with write access to place a symlink under the module root, or who can exploit a pre-existing trusted symlink, can direct file writes to locations outside the intended module root, achieving arbitrary file write relative to the module root parent.","published":"2026-08-13T15:19:59.957","modified":"2026-08-13T15:19:59.957","cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/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-w3xf-j2r2-gv4x"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/rsync-path-traversal-via-partial-dir-backup-dir-symlink"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-13T15:19:59.957"}}
