CVE-2026-93992

Gopeed 2.0.0-beta.3 contains a path traversal flaw in its archive extraction routine that lets an attacker write files outside the intended

Overview

Gopeed 2.0.0-beta.3 contains a path traversal flaw in its archive extraction routine that lets an attacker write files outside the intended directory. The vulnerability is triggered when users enable AutoExtract and download malicious archives. It can be exploited to overwrite system files or drop malicious payloads.

Description

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.

Impact

The flaw compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability by allowing attackers to place arbitrary files on the host. End‑users and administrators of Gopeed installations are directly impacted, as the vulnerability can be triggered without user interaction beyond enabling AutoExtract.

Remediation

Update to the latest Gopeed release that patches the extraction logic. If an update is not immediately possible, disable AutoExtract or configure the application to reject archives containing directory traversal sequences. Additionally, enforce strict file‑system permissions and validate extraction paths server‑side.

Risk context

The CVSS v3 score of 8.1 and critical severity indicate a high‑risk vulnerability. With no EPSS data, defenders should treat this as an urgent issue and prioritize remediation.
