TIMELINE Jun 23 Reserved by cisa-cg Jun 26 EXPLOIT PUBLISHED — CVE-2026-56876 (max-mapper extract-zip). Public exploit reference added. Jun 26 Published (CNA: cisa-cg)
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.
