Path Traversal in github.com/kubev2v/assisted-migration-agent (CVE-2026-53476)
Summary
Path traversal in github.com/kubev2v/assisted-migration-agent (CVE-2026-53476). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.16.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A flaw was found in assisted-migration-agent. An unauthenticated attacker, located on the same local area network (LAN), can exploit a path traversal vulnerability. By crafting a specially designed gzipped tarball, the attacker can bypass security checks and write arbitrary files to the system. This could ultimately lead to the execution of unauthorized code on the appliance.
