CVE-2026-85396

8.7 highEPSS 0.6%

High (8.7). EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in rubyzip 3.4.0.

rubyzip versions before 3.4.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in Zip::Entry#extract that fails to properly validate extraction paths using prefix comparison without trailing separators. Attackers can craft archive entries with names like ../upload_backup/owned.sh to write files outside the intended extraction directory into sibling paths sharing the destination prefix.
