CVE-2026-71477

mise: Incorrect file ownership, when installed by the root user using `install.sh`

Published Aug 18, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.7 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
mise manages dev tools like node, python, cmake, and terraform. Prior to 2026.7.1, release tar archives record mise/bin/mise with user and group ID 1001 and packaging/standalone/install.envsubst extracts and moves it without normalizing ownership, allowing a local user with those IDs to replace a root-installed executable, especially when MISE_INSTALL_PATH targets a shared location such as /usr/local/bin. This issue is fixed in version 2026.7.1.
