Last modified

CVE-2026-44024 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Prior to 1.19.3, Fluentd allows dynamically constructing file paths using the ${tag} placeholder, and insufficient validation of ${tag} in file configurations such as the path parameter of the out_file plugin allows attackers sending untrusted tags containing path traversal characters to write or overwrite arbitrary files and potentially achieve remote code execution. EPSS estimates a 1.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
