Vulnerability in decompress (CVE-2026-10732)

Summary

Vulnerability in decompress (CVE-2026-10732). Data can be tampered with by attackers.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

All versions of the package decompress are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Archive Extraction (Zip Slip) when extracting a ZIP archive containing two entries with the same path - the first being a symlink to an arbitrary target and the second being a regular file - the file content is written through the symlink to the target location outside the output directory. This is due to the microtask processing order that checks readlink for the second file before resolving symlink for the first file. An attacker can write arbitrary files on the host filesystem potentially leading to remote code execution by providing a specially crafted ZIP archive.

Note:

This bypasses all existing path traversal protections including preventWritingThroughSymlink, added as a part of the fix for CVE-2020-12265.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify 
    grep -r 'decompress' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で decompress を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Post-deployment verification verify 
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
