Malicious artifact is delivered over the network and processed on pull (AV:N, UI:R, PR:N); arbitrary file overwrite as the process is RCE-capable, giving C:H/I:H/A:H with no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

oras-go is a Go library for managing OCI artifacts. Prior to 2.6.2, content/file.Store extraction of OCI layers marked with io.deis.oras.content.unpack=true can write outside the store working directory. The pushDir path through extractTarDirectory and ensureLinkPath validates symlink targets lexically, resolveRelToBase skips its parent-symlink walk for root-level entries, and writeFile follows a terminal symlink when opening a regular file. A malicious archive can therefore create a symlink chain whose lexical target remains inside the extraction root but whose resolved target is an attacker-selected absolute path, then overwrite that target with a same-named regular-file entry even when AllowPathTraversalOnWrite is false. Pulling an attacker-controlled artifact can create or overwrite any file writable by the process and may lead to code execution. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.2.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal and arbitrary file write in the oras-go OCI artifact library prior to 2.6.2 allow a malicious artifact layer marked with the io.deis.oras.content.unpack=true annotation to escape the content/file.Store extraction root and create or overwrite any file writable by the pulling process, potentially leading to code execution. Exploitation is unauthenticated from an attacker's network position (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) but requires user interaction (UI:R) because the victim must pull the attacker-controlled artifact reference; the bug bypasses the AllowPathTraversalOnWrite=false default, so no permissive configuration is needed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to pull an attacker-controlled OCI artifact into a content/file.Store, and the malicious layer must be marked with the annotation io.deis.oras.content.unpack=true so oras-go extracts (unpacks) the tar rather than storing it opaquely. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 8.8 High) is internally consistent with the technical facts: a consumer pulls an attacker-controlled OCI artifact (network delivery, low complexity, no attacker authentication), the only gate being the user-interaction of initiating a pull of a malicious reference. … 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 Vendor-released patch: upgrade oras-go to version 2.6.2, which is the exact fixed release referenced by the advisory; the corresponding upstream commit (adab2f25ea95ef4e6e41f50db9266a6701399422) adds symlink-resolved containment checks in extractTarDirectory and removes terminal symlinks in ensureLinkPath before writing. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every product, service, and pipeline that embeds or statically links oras-go - including the ORAS CLI, Notation, and internal tooling built on the library - and flag any instance running a version prior to 2.6.2, treating hosts that pull untrusted or third-party OCI artifacts as the priority cohort. …
