CVE-2026-49145

7.5 · HIGH
Published Jul 8, 2026 CWE-73

Overview

CVE-2026-49145 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 8, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

App::Ack versions through 3.10.0 for Perl read arbitrary files via --files-from in a project .ackrc.

ack searches up the directory hierarchy from the current directory for a project .ackrc and loads its options. The project-source option blocklist in App::Ack::ConfigLoader does not include --files-from, so a project .ackrc can set it to a path whose listed files ack then reads and searches. Version 3.10.0 added --follow to the blocklist; --files-from remains accepted.

A project .ackrc committed to an untrusted repository can make ack read files outside the project and print their matching lines.

Remediation
