CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2026-53777 — Perry security vulnerability
Perry before 0.5.1159 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious build server to write arbitrary content to any location writable by the running process by supplying unsanitized path components in the artifact_name field of ArtifactReady WebSocket messages. Attackers controlling the server URL can deliver traversal payloads through the artifact_name or download_path fields, causing the client to overwrite sensitive files or expose arbitrary local files to an attacker-accessible location.

Matched remediation archetype
Path traversal, unsafe upload, and file handling
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace untrusted filenames, archive entries, URLs, and path segments into read, write, include, extraction, and upload operations.
- Identify filesystem roots, mount permissions, symbolic-link behavior, archive handling, and whether uploaded content is web-accessible or executable.
- Review canonicalization and containment checks across supported operating systems and storage backends.
Remediate safely
- Generate server-side storage identifiers and resolve paths beneath a fixed root using filesystem-aware containment checks.
- Reject absolute, parent-relative, alternate-separator, device, link, and archive entries that escape the intended root.
- Store uploads outside executable or served paths, validate type and size, and use private atomic temporary files.
