CVE-2026-14361

The consul-template library prior to version 0.42.1 is susceptible to a path redirection vulnerability in the writeToFile template helper, which could enable unauthorized file writes outside the designated directory or overwrite existing files. This flaw poses a medium risk, particularly for organizations using this library in their applications, as it could lead to data integrity issues or unauthorized access to sensitive information. Users of affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 0.42.1 to mitigate potential risks.
