Overview

CVE-2026-6940 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 23, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

radare2 prior to 6.1.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability in project deletion that allows local attackers to recursively delete arbitrary directories by supplying absolute paths that escape the configured dir.projects root directory. Attackers can craft absolute paths to project marker files outside the project storage boundary to cause recursive deletion of attacker-chosen directories with permissions of the radare2 process, resulting in integrity and availability loss.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
