Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2025-10854 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The txtai framework allows the loading of compressed tar files as embedding indices. While the validate function is intended to prevent path traversal vulnerabilities by ensuring safe filenames, it does not account for symbolic links within the tar file. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

The txtai framework allows the loading of compressed tar files as embedding indices. While the validate function is intended to prevent path traversal vulnerabilities by ensuring safe filenames, it does not account for symbolic links within the tar file. An attacker is able to write a file anywhere in the filesystem when txtai is used to load untrusted embedding indices
