CVE-2026-6941

radare2 prior to 6.1.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability in its project notes handling that allows attackers to read or write files outside the configured project directory by importing a malicious .zrp archive containing a symlinked notes.txt file. Attackers can craft a .zrp archive with a symlinked notes.txt that bypasses directory confinement checks, allowing note operations to follow the symlink and access arbitrary files outside the dir.projects root directory.

Summary		(es) radare2 anterior a 6.1.4 contiene una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta en su manejo de notas de proyecto que permite a los atacantes leer o escribir archivos fuera del directorio de proyecto configurado al importar un archivo .zrp malicioso que contiene un archivo notes.txt con enlace simbólico. Los atacantes pueden crear un archivo .zrp con un notes.txt con enlace simbólico que omite las comprobaciones de confinamiento de directorio, permitiendo que las operaciones de notas sigan el enlace simbólico y accedan a archivos arbitrarios fuera del directorio raíz dir.projects.
