NVD description

wakaru is a JavaScript decompiler and unminifier toolkit. From 1.0.0 until 1.4.0, @wakaru/cli sanitizes bundle-controlled module filenames only once before writing extracted modules, so a crafted filename containing overlapping traversal sequences such as ....// collapses to ../ after sanitization and lets the final output path escape the selected output directory, allowing an attacker who can cause a user to run wakaru --unpack on a malicious bundle to write files outside that directory and, depending on the target path and environment, potentially achieve code execution. This issue is fixed in @wakaru/cli 1.4.0.

    @wakaru/cli versions < 1.4.0 have an arbitrary file write (CVE-2026-54545). When you run `wakaru --unpack` on a crafted JS bundle, module filenames with overlapping path traversal like `....//` get sanitized down to `../` and escape the output directory. An attacker who gets your agent or build to unpack a malicious bundle writes files anywhere on disk. https://hol.org/guard/security/data-overexposure

    Post summary

    The post discloses an arbitrary file write flaw in wakaru/cli v<1.4.0, explaining how crafted bundles can bypass the output directory, with no mention of exploit tools, active attacks, or patches.
