Last modified

CVE-2026-12568 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The postman_download module uses the workspace name field from the Postman API to construct the local directory path without sanitization. If a malicious workspace has a name containing path traversal characters, pathlib resolves the path outside the intended output directory, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary files to the user's system.. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
