What to do
Workaround (from the CVE record)
If Flatpak packaging is not required on the system, remove the flatpak-builder package to eliminate exposure: # dnf remove flatpak-builder For development environments and continuous integration pipelines where flatpak-builder is necessary, apply the following operational controls: 1. Avoid processing build manifests from untrusted or unverified third-party sources. 2. Execute builds within isolated, ephemeral container or virtual machine environments where sensitive host files and credentials are not mounted or accessible. 3. Implement pre-build pipeline checks to reject manifests containing `file://` URI schemes in `type: file` or `type: archive` source definitions.

Description
Flatpak-builder: local file exfiltration via `file
A flaw was found in flatpak-builder. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause information disclosure by convincing a user or continuous integration (CI) system to process a crafted build manifest. By specifying local file Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) within source download definitions, the builder bypasses directory confinement checks. As a result, sensitive host files accessible to the build process can be read and incorporated into the build artifacts.
