CVE-2026-48129 | Kestra task inputFiles accepts traversal filenames for worker file writes

Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestration platform. Prior to versions 1.3.19, 1.2.19, 1.1.19, and 1.0.43, Kestra task `inputFiles` writes rendered file names directly under the task working directory. When a flow forwards untrusted execution or webhook data into an `inputFiles` file name, a caller can use `../` path segments to create or overwrite files outside that task working directory on the worker filesystem. Versions 1.3.19, 1.2.19, 1.1.19, and 1.0.43 patch the issue.

6.5 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:L)
Might cause slowdowns, glitches, or partial disruption—not a full brick.
