Overview

CVE-2026-41009 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 27, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.8 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.8, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

When the director sends a long-running request (e.g. compile_package), the agent's reply JSON is consumed by AgentClient. inject_compile_log (line 332-339) reads response['value']['result']['compile_log_id'] and format_exception (line 318-325) reads exception['blobstore_id']; both pass the agent-supplied string unmodified to download_and_delete_blob(blob_id) (line 344-349), which calls @resource_manager.get_resource(blob_id) and, in an ensure block, @resource_manager.delete_resource(blob_id). Api::ResourceManager forwards the id straight to blobstore.get(id) / blobstore.delete(id). When the director is configured with the local blobstore provider, Blobstore::LocalClient#object_file_path(oid) is File.join(@blobstore_path, oid) (local_client.rb:54-56) with no normalisation, so oid = "../../jobs/director/config/director.yml" resolves outside the blobstore root.

Affected versions:

BOSH Director: All versions prior to v282.1.12

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-41009?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
