CVE-2026-90774 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Path Traversal vulnerability. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-90774 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description
rustypaste before 0.18.1 validates the destination path before applying the optional custom filename HTTP header, allowing attackers to bypass directory-escape checks. Attackers can supply path traversal sequences in the filename header to write files outside the configured upload directory to arbitrary locations.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-90774 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-90774 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-90774. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
