CVE-2026-76845 Aug 24, 13:12 npm MEDIUM This Month

Symlink-following during ZIP extraction in adm-zip 0.5.9 through 0.6.0 allows a local attacker who can plant a symlink inside the extraction directory to overwrite arbitrary files accessible by the extracting process. Utils.writeFileTo calls fs.openSync without O_NOFOLLOW and performs no pre-write lstat check, so a pre-positioned symlink transparently redirects the write - and a subsequent chmod - to any target outside the extraction root without any path-traversal sequence appearing in the archive. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the impact is high in shared or predictable extraction environments such as CI pipelines and multi-tenant temp directories.
