A Path traversal vulnerability in OPSWAT tarball in the SonicWall NetExtender Linux client allows an attacker to write arbitrary file as root.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary root file write in SonicWall NetExtender Linux client (versions 10.3.5 and earlier) is achievable by an unauthenticated remote attacker who delivers a malicious OPSWAT tarball containing path-traversal sequences, exploiting CWE-29 to escape the intended extraction directory and overwrite system files as root. Exploitation requires user interaction (CVSS UI:R) to trigger tarball processing, and no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target system to run SonicWall NetExtender Linux client version 10.3.5 or earlier, and the OPSWAT tarball processing code path must be triggered - this occurs when a user initiates a VPN connection or compliance check that causes the client to fetch and extract a tarball. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-provided CVSS 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects high impact across all three dimensions and a network-accessible attack vector with low complexity - consistent with the severity of arbitrary root-level file write. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade SonicWall NetExtender Linux client to a version later than 10.3.5 by consulting the vendor advisory at https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2026-0013; the exact patched release number is not independently confirmed in available data and must be verified directly with SonicWall PSIRT. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct an inventory of all systems running SonicWall NetExtender Linux client versions 10.3.5 or earlier and immediately communicate to users that they should not process OPSWAT tarballs from untrusted or unexpected sources; restrict or disable OPSWAT tarball processing where operationally feasible. …
