From 1.16.0 until 1.21.2, 1.22.2, and 1.23.1, the DecompressTarGz function in keadm/cmd/keadm/app/cmd/util/common.go joins archive entry names to the extraction destination without sufficient validation. During keadm join or installation on Windows edge nodes, an archive influenced through a compromised, replaced, or untrusted download source can contain parent-directory components, Windows-style backslashes, absolute paths, or drive-prefixed paths that escape the intended directory. The affected keadm process can consequently write or overwrite files with its own privileges, potentially modifying configuration, executable, or service files and enabling persistent system modification or code execution. This issue is fixed in versions 1.21.2, 1.22.2, and 1.23.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-21T18:17:09.58+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-24T23:17:14.04+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.21.md","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.22.md","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.23.md","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/commit/47767b7f2649afcfa3a856e87d556f7777e0428d","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/commit/a524a66a1ae1691eb8ff16b6ff9a93fb370d4047","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/commit/ee02dea9d08114afc4a8f401b1c2f30e84e1de40","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/pull/7028","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/pull/7029","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/pull/7030","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/releases/tag/v1.21.2","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/releases/tag/v1.22.2","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/releases/tag/v1.23.1","https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/security/advisories/GHSA-9vm9-pqxx-x83v"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-62369","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Awaiting Analysis","weaknesses":["CWE-22"],"productCriteria":[],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-09-21T18:17:09.580","lastModified":"2026-09-24T23:17:14.040"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
