CVE-2026-62847 Details
Description
Metalama is a Roslyn-based open-source patterns and architecture toolkit for C#. Prior to 2025.1.18, 2026.0.25 and 2026.1.19, Metalama.Framework and Metalama.Tool load and execute compile-time assemblies, auxiliary executable tools and embedded helper assemblies from predictable temporary directories. On `Linux` and `macOS`, the default `Path.GetTempPath()` location is world-writable, and existing artifacts are trusted based on sentinel or `.completed` marker files rather than integrity verification. A local unprivileged user on a shared machine or CI/build agent can pre-create the deterministic directory structure and plant a malicious DLL with the matching sentinel. When a higher-privileged developer or build account subsequently builds, Metalama skips regeneration and executes the planted artifact in the compiler, IDE or MSBuild process as the building user. This permits cross-user privilege escalation, reading source and secrets, supply-chain tampering with build output, or disrupting builds. Default Windows per-user temporary directories are protected by ACLs and are not affected. Deployer-selected insecure cache locations are outside the vulnerability's scope. This issue is fixed in versions 2025.1.18, 2026.0.25 and 2026.1.19.
A vulnerability in Metalama's handling of temporary directories can lead to local privilege escalation on Linux and macOS systems. Prior to versions 2025.1.18, 2026.0.25, and 2026.1.19, Metalama executed assemblies from predictable, world-writable temporary directories. This flaw allowed unprivileged users to plant malicious DLLs that were later executed by higher-privileged users or accounts, disrupting builds or tampering with build outputs. The issue is now resolved by relocating the temporary directory to a per-user application data location, away from the world-writable /tmp.
Users can update to Metalama versions 2025.1.18, 2026.0.25, or 2026.1.19 to address this vulnerability.
