CVE-2026-42574
Last modified
CVE-2026-42574 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. apko allows users to build and publish OCI container images built from apk packages. From version 0.14.8 to before version 1.2.5, a crafted .apk could install a TypeSymlink tar entry whose target pointed outside the build root, and a subsequent directory-creation or file-write entry in the same or later archive could traverse that symlink to reach host paths the build user could write to. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
