CVE-2026-49290 Details
Description
Slopsmith is a self-contained web application for browsing, playing, and practicing Rocksmith 2014 Custom DLC (CDLC). Prior to 0.2.9-alpha.5, a path-traversal vulnerability in Slopsmith's archive extractors allows an attacker to write arbitrary files outside the extraction directory by supplying a crafted PSARC or sloppak archive. With the default Docker configuration (running as root) and the ability to drop a file into the plugin directory, this escalates to arbitrary remote code execution on the host. Three archive extractors concatenated archive-entry filenames directly onto the extraction root without validation: `lib/psarc.py::unpack_psarc` — PSARC TOC filenames; `lib/patcher.py::unpack_psarc` — duplicate of the above in the patcher flow; `lib/sloppak.py::_unpack_zip` — bare `ZipFile.extractall()` with no member filter. Each accepts entry names containing `..` segments, absolute paths, or backslash separators. The Python `zipfile` module's default `extractall()` is documented as not preventing traversal when callers don't supply a member-filter callback. Version 0.2.9-alpha.5 patches the issue. Until updated, do not open PSARC or sloppak archives from untrusted sources, and do not expose the Slopsmith instance to the public internet. Docker users should also pull the latest image after the next slopsmith Docker image is published.
A path-traversal vulnerability has been identified in Slopsmith, a web application for managing Rocksmith 2014 Custom DLC. This vulnerability, present in versions prior to 0.2.9-alpha.5, allows attackers to write arbitrary files outside the designated extraction directory by manipulating PSARC or sloppak archive filenames. The issue arises in three archive extractors that improperly handle filenames, enabling traversal attacks. When exploited in the default Docker configuration, which runs as root, this vulnerability can be escalated to achieve arbitrary remote code execution on the host.
Users should update to Slopsmith version 0.2.9-alpha.5 or later, and avoid opening PSARC or sloppak archives from untrusted sources. Additionally, do not expose the Slopsmith instance to the public internet. For Docker users, pull the latest image after the next Slopsmith Docker image is published.
