CVE-2026-45774
Published:August 13, 2026
Updated:August 31, 2026
compliance-trestle is a tooling platform for managing compliance as code. Prior to versions 3.12.2 and 4.0.3, the compliance-trestle library's profile import mechanism resolves "trestle://" URIs and relative file paths by joining them with "trestle_root" and calling ".resolve()", but performs no boundary check to ensure the resolved path stays within the trestle workspace. An attacker can craft a malicious OSCAL profile YAML with "imports[].href" containing path traversal sequences to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. Versions 3.12.3 and 4.0.3 patch the issue.
