CVE-2026-72903
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator. Prior to 1.0.235, a malicious SFTP server can return a backslash traversal filename through entry.name. In tabby-ssh/src/session/sftp.ts, SFTPSession.readdir() and _makeFile() use POSIX path processing that preserves the backslashes as ordinary filename characters. In tabby-ssh/src/components/sftpPanel.component.ts, downloadFolderRecursive() propagates item.name into the local relative path. In tabby-electron/src/services/platform.service.ts, ElectronDirectoryDownload.createFile() passes that path to Windows-native path.join(), and in tabby-electron/src/sftpContextMenu.ts, EditSFTPContextMenu.edit() passes item.name to path.join() for the temporary edit path. Windows interprets the preserved backslashes and parent-directory components as traversal, allowing attacker-controlled content to be created or overwritten outside the selected download directory or temporary edit directory. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.235.

"value": "Tabby (anteriormente Terminus) es un emulador de terminal altamente configurable. Antes de la versión 1.0.235, un servidor SFTP malicioso puede devolver un nombre de archivo de recorrido de barra invertida a través de entry.name. En tabby-ssh/src/session/sftp.ts, SFTPSession.readdir() y _makeFile() utilizan procesamiento de rutas POSIX que conserva las barras invertidas como caracteres de nombre de archivo ordinarios. En tabby-ssh/src/components/sftpPanel.component.ts, downloadFolderRecursive() propaga item.name en la ruta relativa local. En tabby-electron/src/services/platform.service.ts, ElectronDirectoryDownload.createFile() pasa esa ruta a path.join() nativo de Windows, y en tabby-electron/src/sftpContextMenu.ts, EditSFTPContextMenu.edit() pasa item.name a path.join() para la ruta de edición temporal. Windows interpreta las barras invertidas conservadas y los componentes de directorio padre como recorrido, permitiendo que contenido controlado por el atacante sea creado o sobrescrito fuera del directorio de descarga seleccionado o del directorio de edición temporal. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 1.0.235."
