Summary

CVE-2026-10732 is a medium-severity Path Traversal: '\..\filename' (CWE-29) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 5.6 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 41th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

All versions of the package decompress are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Archive Extraction (Zip Slip) when extracting a ZIP archive containing two entries with the same path - the first being a symlink to an arbitrary target and…

the second being a regular file - the file content is written through the symlink to the target location outside the output directory. This is due to the microtask processing order that checks readlink for the second file before resolving symlink for the first file. An attacker can write arbitrary file on the host filesystem potentially leading to remote code execution by providing a specially crafted ZIP archive. **Note:** This bypasses all existing path traversal protections including preventWritingThroughSymlink, added as a part of the fix for [CVE-2020-12265](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-DECOMPRESS-557358).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Validates archive entry paths and symlink targets before extraction to block the crafted ZIP that writes through a symlink outside the destination directory.

prevent

Enforces that file-write operations during extraction are confined to the intended output directory, directly stopping the Zip-Slip symlink bypass.

detect

Performs integrity verification on extracted files and can flag writes that occur outside the expected extraction tree.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that block this traversal vector.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

detects

Security testing can discover path-traversal flaws but does not itself prevent them in production code.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate input validation and path canonicalization to block traversal sequences.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include directory sandboxing and safe file-access design that mitigate path traversal.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly require neutralizing path traversal sequences such as '\..\filename'.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
