CVE-2026-78254: Apache Ant: Path traversal in ftp and scp tasks allows arbitrary file write
Apache Ant 1.2 before 1.10.18 ftp and scp tasks allow path traversal, letting malicious servers overwrite arbitrary files (CVE-2026-78254).
CVE-2026-78254 affects Apache Ant (org.apache.ant:ant) versions 1.2 before 1.10.18 and is rated moderate. The ftp and scp tasks download files from a remote server, and a malicious server can supply relative paths that write outside the dedicated target directory, overwriting attacker-chosen files with the permissions of the user running Ant. The issue is fixed in Apache Ant 1.10.18.
