CVE-2026-25145— melange has a path traversal in license-path which allows reading files outside workspace

Quick assessment

Affected
chainguard-dev melange
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

melange是Chainguard开源的一个从源代码构建APK的软件。 melange 0.14.0版本至0.40.3之前版本存在路径遍历漏洞，该漏洞源于LicensingInfos函数读取许可证文件时未验证路径，可能导致路径遍历和读取任意文件。

Vulnerability Title
melange has a path traversal in license-path which allows reading files outside workspace
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
melange allows users to build apk packages using declarative pipelines. From version 0.14.0 to before 0.40.3, an attacker who can influence a melange configuration file (e.g., through pull request-driven CI or build-as-a-service scenarios) could read arbitrary files from the host system. The LicensingInfos function in pkg/config/config.go reads license files specified in copyright[].license-path without validating that paths remain within the workspace directory, allowing path traversal via ../ sequences. The contents of the traversed file are embedded into the generated SBOM as license text, enabling exfiltration of sensitive data through build artifacts. This issue has been patched in version 0.40.3.
