NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kubescape package and not the kubescape package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

The go-getter library up to versions 1.8.8 and 2.2.3 is vulnerable to a privilege escalation issue in its archive decompression handling that may allow a crafted archive to cause extracted files to be created with elevated permission bits. Where extraction is performed by a privileged user, this may allow a local actor to obtain the privileges of the extracting process. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-88922) is fixed in go-getter 1.8.9 and 2.2.4.
