CVE-2026-63278

Package URLs can be used to exfiltrate arbitrary INI file values and environment variables

Published Sep 22, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.7 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
URLs could be constructed which expanded environment variable or INI file values, so potentially sensitive information could be exfiltrated to a remote server on opening a document containing such links. The check added for CVE-2024-12426 did not recognise every way of naming the package content provider, so a URL that named it differently still reached the expansion. In fixed versions the package content provider is matched when the URL is checked.
