CVE-2026-55092 Details
Description
Trivy is a security scanner. Prior to 0.71.1, when Trivy downloads an OCI artifact, it uses the org.opencontainers.image.title annotation from the artifact manifest as the destination filename without validation. An attacker who can make Trivy fetch an attacker-controlled artifact can supply a crafted annotation that resolves to a path outside the intended destination, causing Trivy to write the layer content to an arbitrary location on the host filesystem. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.71.1.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Trivy, a security scanner, prior to version 0.71.1. When Trivy downloads an OCI artifact, it uses the 'org.opencontainers.image.title' annotation from the artifact manifest as the destination filename without proper validation. This flaw allows an attacker to craft an annotation that directs Trivy to write layer content to an arbitrary location on the host filesystem. The vulnerability can be exploited if Trivy is made to fetch an attacker-controlled artifact through specific input channels, such as vulnerability database repositories or during WASM module installations.
Users are advised to upgrade Trivy to version 0.71.1 or later. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, avoid downloading Trivy artifacts from untrusted or unknown OCI repositories.
