GHSA-8j49-mmcx-4mp5: mobsf (CVE-2026-68922)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
mobsf	PyPI	<4.5.1	4.5.1

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

MobSF versions before 4.5.1 are vulnerable to a path traversal flaw in how Android ZIP uploads are processed: the icon path taken from the manifest is not sanitized before being used as a file path. An attacker with scan permissions can supply a crafted archive that makes the server copy files from outside the scan directory into the downloads folder, where they can be fetched via the download endpoint if their extension is allowed. Upgrade to MobSF 4.5.1 or later. The source gives few details on other workarounds.
