CVE-2026-105422TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Software Technologies Research Institute pardus-boot-repair path traversal
CVE-2026-105422 is a path traversal in TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Software Technologies Research Institute pardus-boot-repair, rated medium (6.6 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Deferred
What it is
A file name from the request can climb out of the intended folder with sequences like ../, reaching files the service never meant to expose.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it with physical access to the device, without an account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Software Technologies Research Institute pardus-boot-repair to 1.1.0 or later.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Software Technologies Research Institute pardus-boot-repair allows Path Traversal.

What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- File storage the service can read or write. The flaw sits between the application and the file system it can reach.
Trust boundaries in play
- Host boundary. The attacker needs a foothold on the machine first; the flaw turns a small foothold into a bigger one.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Between the application and the file system it can reach. An attacker who crosses it can read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Software Technologies Research Institute pardus-boot-repair run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those devices sit where outsiders can touch them?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
