CVE-2026-2741: Vaadin

Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Specially crafted ZIP archives can escape the intended extraction directory during Node.js download and extraction in Vaadin 14.2.0 through 14.14.0, 15.0.0 through 23.6.6, 24.0.0 through 24.9.8, and 25.0.0 through 25.0.2. Vaadin’s build process can automatically download and extract Node.js if it is not installed locally. If an attacker can intercept or control this download via DNS hijacking, a MITM attack, a compromised mirror, or a supply chain attack, they can serve a malicious archive containing path traversal sequences that write files outside the intended extraction directory. Users of affected versions should use a globally preinstalled Node.js version compatible with their Vaadin version, or upgrade as follows: 14.2.0-14.14.0 to 14.14.1, 15.0.0-23.6.6 to 23.6.7, 24.0.0-24.9.8 to 24.9.9, and 25.0.0-25.0.2 to 25.0.3 or newer. Please note that Vaadin versions 10-13 and 15-22 are no longer supported and you should update either to the latest 14, 23, 24, 25 version.

Affected products

• Vaadin Vaadin: from 14.2.0, before 14.14.1 (fixed in 14.14.1); from 15.0.0, before 23.6.7 (fixed in 23.6.7); from 24.0.0, before 24.9.10 (fixed in 24.9.10); from 25.0.0, before 25.0.4 (fixed in 25.0.4)
