CVE-2026-6940

radare2 prior to 6.1.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability in project deletion that allows local attackers to recursively delete arbitrary directories by supplying absolute paths that escape the configured dir.projects root directory. Attackers can craft absolute paths to project marker files outside the project storage boundary to cause recursive deletion of attacker-chosen directories with permissions of the radare2 process, resulting in integrity and availability loss.

Summary		(es) radare2 anterior a 6.1.4 contiene una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta en la eliminación de proyectos que permite a atacantes locales eliminar recursivamente directorios arbitrarios al proporcionar rutas absolutas que escapan del directorio raíz dir.projects configurado. Los atacantes pueden crear rutas absolutas a archivos marcadores de proyecto fuera del límite de almacenamiento del proyecto para causar la eliminación recursiva de directorios elegidos por el atacante con los permisos del proceso radare2, lo que resulta en pérdida de integridad y disponibilidad.
