AI-suggested

Fixed versions 1.15.4 and 1.16.0-rc2 and their variants are available and should be applied to remediate this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to these versions to prevent exploitation. No vendor advisory indicates alternative mitigations or that no action is required. Therefore, upgrading to a fixed version is the recommended remediation.

Description

CVE-2026-32146 is a path traversal vulnerability in the Gleam compiler affecting its handling of git dependencies during the dependency download phase. The flaw allows attacker-controlled paths to escape the intended dependency directory, enabling arbitrary file system modifications such as deletion or creation of directories outside the expected scope. This can lead to data loss and, in some environments, may be leveraged for arbitrary code execution by overwriting critical files like git hooks or shell configuration files. The vulnerability affects Gleam versions from 1.9.0-rc1 before 1.15.4 and from 1.16.0-rc1 before 1.16.0-rc2. Fixed versions include 1.15.4 and 1.16.0-rc2 and their variants.
