High 7.2CVE-2026-92162 Public exploit
Flatpak vulnerable to path traversal via unvalidated "arch" parameter in DeployAppstream
Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. Prior to version 1.18.1, on systems where at least one OCI remote is configured (most common on Fedora systems), a malicious local user in an active local ses…

Flatpak: flatpak: sandboxed app can signal unsandboxed processes in the same process group
Flatpak's process ID namespace separation does not prevent a sandboxed app's kill(0, signal) or killpg(0, signal) calls from reaching processes outside the sandbox that share the same process group. A malicious or compromised Flatpak app can use this to cause…

Flatpak: flatpak: arbitrary write in root context via path traversal in deploy directory files/etc
A path traversal vulnerability in Flatpak's handling of the files/etc directory during app deployment allows a malicious Flatpak app to cause certain host system files (such as passwd, group, machine-id, or resolv.conf) to be emptied or replaced with a symlin…

Flatpak: flatpak: denial of service via unsanitized keys in exported desktop entry / d-bus service files
Flatpak passes through arbitrary vendor-extension keys unmodified when exporting an application's Desktop Entry (.desktop) and D-Bus Service (.service) files, instead of validating against an allowlist. A malicious Flatpak app can use this to cause denial of …

Flatpak: flatpak: world-writable temporary child repositories in system-helper cache path
Flatpak creates temporary child repository directories under the user cache with world-writable permissions (0777). On multi-user systems with a permissive umask, other local users could read or modify the temporary directory used while installing apps or run…

Flatpak: flatpak: world-readable oci authentication token in system-helper cache path
Flatpak writes the OCI repository authentication token with world-readable permissions (0644) in the system-helper's cache directory, allowing other local users on a multi-user system to read the token and impersonate the authenticated user against the OCI re…

Flatpak: flatpak: arbitrary file deletion in root context via path traversal in deploy directory export/bin
A path traversal vulnerability in Flatpak's handling of the export/bin directory during app deployment allows a malicious Flatpak app to cause deletion of attacker-chosen files outside the deployment directory when the app is installed or upgraded. In system-…

Flatpak: flatpak: arbitrary read-access to files in the system-helper context via oci symlink following
A malicious user can get read-access to files in the flatpak-system-helper context if a system OCI repository is configured, because the OCI code paths in the system helper follow symlinks when importing OCI images that are under the user's control.

Flatpak: flatpak: extension metadata path traversal file existence oracle
A malicious Flatpak extension can probe the host filesystem to determine what files and directories exist at arbitrary paths, and host directory listings can be disclosed to sandboxed applications using the extension. Additionally, unvalidated extension metad…

Flatpak: flatpak: flatpak-system-helper cross-user cancelpull orphans another user's ongoing pull
By calling org.freedesktop.Flatpak.SystemHelper.CancelPull on another user's pull, the pull is not actually cancelled but removed from internal tracking, making it impossible for the owning user to stop it. Ongoing pulls cannot be stopped.

Flatpak: flatpak: unprivileged active user can bypass anti-downgrade checks for system apps/runtimes
On a multi-user system, a user with an active local login session could downgrade a system-wide Flatpak app to an older version by removing the app's remote ref via the unprivileged system-helper RemoveLocalRef method, causing the anti-downgrade check to fail…

Flatpak: flatpak: buffer overflow in oci delta stream path names on 32-bit systems
The OCI delta stream parser read sizes as guint64 but passed them to GLib I/O and allocation functions expecting gsize (32 bits on 32-bit systems), causing undersized allocations while subsequent operations use the original 64-bit size, leading to heap buffer…

Flatpak: flatpak: path traversal issue in oci archive extraction via hardlinks
A malicious OCI registry can hardlink arbitrary host files into the extraction directory when a user installs or updates a Flatpak application from an OCI remote, allowing disclosure of arbitrary host file contents. For system-wide installs running as root, t…

Flatpak: flatpak: arbitrary write access as root via extra-data extraction
A malicious or compromised Flatpak repository can write attacker-controlled content to arbitrary locations on the host filesystem via extract_extra_data(). On system installs, the write happens as root. Two issues combine: `files/extra` is resolved via path o…

Flatpak affected by arbitrary file deletion on the host filesystem
Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. Prior to 1.16.4, the caching for ld.so removes outdated cache files without properly checking that the app controlled path to the outdated cache is in the cache directory. This allows Flatp…
