CVE-2026-44024

Fluentd: Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Arbitrary File Write in `${tag}` Placeholder

Published Jul 8, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS 1.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Prior to 1.19.3, Fluentd allows dynamically constructing file paths using the ${tag} placeholder, and insufficient validation of ${tag} in file configurations such as the path parameter of the out_file plugin allows attackers sending untrusted tags containing path traversal characters to write or overwrite arbitrary files and potentially achieve remote code execution. This issue is fixed in version 1.19.3.
