CVE-2026-71476

Nx is a monorepo solution for TypeScript and polyglot codebases. From version 20.8.0 until 22.7.7 and 23.0.2, the Nx self-hosted HTTP remote cache extracts downloaded cache artifacts without constraining where files are written. A malicious or on-path (MITM) remote cache server can return a crafted tar archive whose entries escape the cache directory and write to arbitrary locations on the machine running Nx, which can be escalated to remote code execution. Nx's default local cache and Nx Cloud are not affected; only workspaces configured to use a self-hosted remote cache are affected. This issue is fixed in versions 22.7.7 and 23.0.2.

Summary		(es) Nx es una solución de monorepo para bases de código TypeScript y políglotas. Desde la versión 20.8.0 hasta la 22.7.7 y la 23.0.2, la caché remota HTTP autoalojada de Nx extrae los artefactos de caché descargados sin restringir dónde se escriben los archivos. Un servidor de caché remoto malicioso o en ruta (MitM) puede devolver un archivo tar manipulado cuyas entradas escapan del directorio de caché y escriben en ubicaciones arbitrarias en la máquina que ejecuta Nx, lo que puede escalarse a ejecución remota de código. La caché local predeterminada de Nx y Nx Cloud no se ven afectadas; solo los espacios de trabajo configurados para usar una caché remota autoalojada se ven afectados. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 22.7.7 y 23.0.2.
