Description

CVE-2026-57567 is a path traversal vulnerability in the readest ebook reader affecting desktop Tauri builds prior to version 0.11.10. The flaw allows JavaScript running in the privileged application origin to read or write arbitrary files on the filesystem by exploiting insufficient validation of file paths in the download_file and upload_file commands. This can lead to exposure of sensitive data such as keys and tokens, or overwriting of trusted files. The issue is fixed in readest version 0.11.10.
