CVE-2026-41530: Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal') in Chitora soft Lhaz
CVE-2026-41530 is a path traversal vulnerability in Chitora soft's Lhaz and Lhaz+ archive extraction software. The issue occurs when the automatic folder creation feature is enabled and a user extracts an archive containing specially crafted file names. This can cause files to be extracted outside the intended directory. The vulnerability affects versions 2.6.3 and earlier. The CVSS score is 3.3, indicating low severity, with limited impact on integrity and no impact on confidentiality or availability. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in Lhaz and Lhaz+ arises from improper limitation of pathnames during archive extraction when automatic folder creation is enabled. Crafted filenames in an archive can cause files to be extracted to unintended directories, potentially leading to limited integrity issues. This affects Lhaz versions 2.6.3 and earlier. The CVSS 3.0 base score is 3.3, reflecting low severity with local attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently provided.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to potential integrity issues where files may be extracted outside the intended directory, possibly overwriting or placing files in unexpected locations. There is no impact on confidentiality or availability. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction to exploit, reducing the risk level. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling the automatic folder creation feature or avoid extracting archives from untrusted sources to mitigate risk.
