hugo: Hugo is a static site generator
CVE-2026-44301 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44301, released May 15, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
Hugo is a static site generator. From 0.43 to before 0.161.0, when building a Hugo site that uses Node-based asset pipelines (PostCSS, Babel, TailwindCSS), Hugo invoked the configured Node tools without restrictions on file system access. As a result, executing hugo against an untrusted site could allow code running through these tools to read or write files outside the project's working directory. Users who do not use PostCSS, Babel, or TailwindCSS, or who only build trusted sites, are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.161.0.
