CVE-2026-29790

MEDIUM CVSS: 5.3 Published: 2026-03-06 Modified: 2026-06-17

Description

dbt-common is the shared common utilities for dbt-core and adapter implementations use. Prior to versions 1.34.2 and 1.37.3, a path traversal vulnerability exists in dbt-common's safe_extract() function used when extracting tarball archives. The function uses os.path.commonprefix() to validate that extracted files remain within the intended destination directory. However, commonprefix() compares paths character-by-character rather than by path components, allowing a malicious tarball to write files to sibling directories with matching name prefixes. This issue has been patched in versions 1.34.2 and 1.37.3.
