CVE-2026-54585 | BDVDB-2026-375628 Detail

MidnightBSDmport

Description#

mport is the MidnightBSD Package Manager. Prior to 2.7.8, create_sample_file() in libmport/bundle_read_install_pkg.c did not constrain absolute source and destination paths from the sample-file manifest directive to mport->root. A malicious or malformed package manifest could therefore direct privileged sample-file handling to copy or write outside the configured installation root, compromising local filesystem integrity. This issue is fixed in version 2.7.8.

Impact#

Per CVSS v4.0: confidentiality impact none, integrity impact high, availability impact low. Attack vector: network.

Weaknesses#

CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
