rh-podman-desktop: extract-zip does not validate symlink targets when extracting zip archives
CVE-2026-56876 is fixed in rh-podman-desktop on 1 platform by RHSA-2026:57590 (version 1.1.2-1.el10_2), released August 21, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
extract-zip does not validate symlink targets when extracting zip archives. When processing a malicious zip file containing a symlink with a relative path like '../../../../etc/passwd', extract-zip will extract the symlink without validation, allowing it to point outside the extraction directory. Depending on how extract-zip is used, an attacker could read or write to arbitrary files.
