CVE-2026-42866

Tookie is a advanced OSINT information gathering tool. Prior to 4.1fix, modules/modules.py's write_txt, write_csv, write_json, and (commented-but-shipping) scan_file helpers open their output as open(f"{user}.<ext>"), where user comes unsanitized from the -u CLI flag or any line of a -U usernames file. A username that contains path-separator sequences (.., /, \, or an absolute path) causes tookie-osint to write the scan output to an arbitrary path the invoking user has write permission for. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1fix.

CVSS

No CVSS.

Summary		(es) Tookie es una herramienta avanzada de recopilación de información OSINT. Antes de 4.1fix, los asistentes write_txt, write_csv, write_json y scan_file (comentado pero distribuido) de modules/modules.py abren su salida como open(f“{user}.[ext]”), donde ’user’ proviene sin sanear del indicador CLI -u o de cualquier línea de un archivo de nombres de usuario -U. Un nombre de usuario que contiene secuencias de separadores de ruta (.., /, \, o una ruta absoluta) hace que tookie-osint escriba la salida del escaneo a una ruta arbitraria para la que el usuario invocador tiene permiso de escritura. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 4.1fix.
