CVE-2026-93992
Gopeed through 2.0.0-beta.3 contains a path traversal vulnerability in archive extraction that allows attackers to write arbitrary files outside the extraction directory. Attackers can craft malicious archives with entries containing directory traversal sequences that bypass validation, enabling file write operations when users download and extract archives with AutoExtract enabled.
What this means for your business
- An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.
What to do
- 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
- 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
