CVE-2026-46345

compliance-trestle is a tooling platform for managing compliance as code. Prior to versions 3.12.2 and 4.0.3, the `-o/--output` argument in `trestle author jinja` allows writing files outside the intended workspace. The application does not properly validate, `../`, `..\`, or absolute paths. This allows arbitrary file write to attacker-controlled locations. Versions 3.12.3 and 4.0.3 patch the issue.

Summary		(es) compliance-trestle es una plataforma de herramientas para gestionar el cumplimiento como código. Antes de las versiones 3.12.2 y 4.0.3, el argumento ’-o/--output’ en ’trestle author jinja’ permite escribir archivos fuera del espacio de trabajo previsto. La aplicación no valida correctamente ’.. / ’, ’.. / ’, o rutas absolutas. Esto permite la escritura arbitraria de archivos en ubicaciones controladas por el atacante. Las versiones 3.12.3 y 4.0.3 parchean el problema.
