| Severity | 7.8 High CVSS 3.1 |

| Weakness | Path traversal (CWE-22) |

Published 2 months ago. NVD often adds the list of affected products days or weeks after a CVE is published, and the other sources we check lag too. The scope and status here may change.
Description
Description
A topology's topology.blobstore.map lets the submitter choose a local name for each blob that the
supervisor localises. That name was used to build a path under the topology's working directory without
normalisation, in both AsyncLocalizer and Container.createBlobstoreLinks, and the symlink helper
force-deletes whatever already exists at the target before creating the link.
A submitter could therefore use ../ segments to direct that delete-and-symlink operation at an arbitrary
path, as the supervisor user, on every node the topology is scheduled onto. The consequences include
recursive deletion of supervisor-owned content and planting a symlink that causes a subsequent worker
launch to execute attacker-chosen code as another tenant's operating-system user, which defeats the
isolation that supervisor.run.worker.as.user is intended to provide.
Mitigation
Upgrade to 3.1.0, where the resolved target must lie inside the expected root at both call sites.
Users who cannot upgrade immediately should restrict topology submission to trusted principals, and may
reject submissions whose topology.blobstore.map entries contain path separators or .. segments before
they reach Nimbus.

| Decided by | A vulnerability class already blocked by an ARMR security rule |
|---|---|
| Finding | Protected by Waratek's ARMR path-traversal security rule, which blocks this class of attack at the JVM level without a rule written for this CVE specifically. The CVE's weakness is CWE-22: Path Traversal. |
How to mitigate CVE-2026-82427
Apply the vendor's fix. Until you can, Waratek RASP blocks exploitation with its path traversal rule. It runs inside the Java application, with no code changes.
