Chainguard: verus: security update to 0.2026.10.18-r1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478187

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - zip is a zip library for Rust that supports reading and writing simple ZIP files. From 7.2.0 until 9.0.0,
 ZipArchive::extract and ZipArchive::extract_unwrapped_root_dir use safe_prepare_path in
 src/read/zipfile.rs and simplified_components in src/path.rs to validate symbolic link targets with a
 lexical prefix comparison rather than resolving each intermediate link. An attacker who knows or can guess
 the absolute extraction destination can create a chain whose apparent target remains under the destination
 while an intermediate symlink resolves outside it, allowing attacker-controlled files to be created or
 overwritten with the extracting process's privileges. On Windows, discarded drive and UNC prefixes can
 permit a single-link escape when the process has SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, such as through
 administrator rights or Developer Mode. This regression is distinct from CVE-2025-29787. This issue is
 fixed in version 9.0.0. (CVE-2026-115908)

Solution

Update the verus library and its related packages to version 0.2026.10.18-r1 or later.
