gopass before 1.17.0 Path Traversal via fs Storage Prune and IsDir

Published Oct 28, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.7 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
gopass before 1.17.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the filesystem storage backend that allows attackers to delete directories outside the password store via ../ entry names in Prune and IsDir. Collaborators with write access to a shared git-synced store can introduce crafted entries, causing a victim's recursive gopass rm -r to delete arbitrary directory trees.
