CVE-2026-6968

Published: Apr 24, 2026

Modified: Apr 24, 2026

PUBLISHED

CVSS v3.1

5.9

MEDIUM

Description

Incomplete path traversal fixes in awslabs/tough before tough-v0.22.0 allow remote authenticated users with delegated signing authority to write files outside intended output directories via absolute target names in copy_target/link_target, symlinked parent directories in save_target, or symlinked metadata filenames in SignedRole::write, because write paths trust the joined destination path without post-resolution containment verification. We recommend you upgrade to tough-v0.22.0 / tuftool-v0.15.0.

Vendor	Product	Versions
AWS	tough	unaffected `0.22.0`
AWS	tuftool	unaffected `0.15.0`
