CVE-2026-85518 Oct 21, 19:42 MEDIUM This Month

Path traversal in OpenSCAP's Source DataStream (SDS) decomposition can allow a crafted datastream to create or modify files outside the intended output directory with the permissions of the process performing the decomposition. The issue affects OpenSCAP as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and Red Hat Hardened Images; exploitation is local and requires the victim user or automated system to decompose an attacker-supplied SDS containing directory traversal sequences. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 3.1 score is 6.1 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L).
