uv: Path traversal on Windows through wheel extraction
Collected exploitation and prediction evidence
Risk source coverageCISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.
No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

Published### Impact In versions of uv from 0.12.7 to 0.12.18 on Windows, uv could be induced into writing a file outside of the installation prefix during wheel installation. A malicious wheel could use this to place an executable outside of the intended environment, including in a directory already present on the user's PATH. This vulnerability only affects Windows hosts; no other platforms are affected. ### Patches uv 0.12.18 and newer address this vulnerability. Users are encouraged to upgrade to 0.12.18. ### Workarounds There is no workaround other than upgrading to uv 0.12.18.
