CVE-2026-59948

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language. Prior to 2.2.29 and 2.10.2, a maliciously crafted package from an untrusted repository other than Packagist.org or Private Packagist can cause Composer to write attacker-controlled files outside the vendor directory and outside the project during install or update by using an invalid package name that is not correctly validated before dependency-resolution results are written or installed. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.29 and 2.10.2.
