CVE-2026-50135 (GCVE-0-2026-50135)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-07-06 19:52 – Updated: 2026-07-07 16:57

Title

Hugo: Symlink confinement bypass in resources.Get

Summary

Hugo is a static site generator. From 0.123.0 to 0.161.1, a regression made RootMappingFs.statRoot use Stat (follows symlinks) instead of Lstat , so a direct resources.Get of a symlink pointing outside its mount returned the target's contents — letting a symlink planted in a local mount (e.g. a vendored themes/ theme) read arbitrary files accessible to the Hugo user. Go-module themes from GitHub (symlinks stripped) and directory walks were unaffected. Fixed in 0.162.0.

Severity

6.9 (Medium)

GHSA-FW87-FV5R-9FPW

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-16 20:12 – Updated: 2026-06-16 20:12

Summary

Hugo: Symlink confinement bypass in resources.Get

Details

Commit: f8b5fa09a6 — Fix prevention of direct symlink reads in resources.Get Affected versions: v0.123.0 through v0.161.1. Earlier versions are not affected. Fixed in: v0.162.0. Severity: Medium. Requires the attacker to be able to place (or convince a site author to place) a symlink inside a mounted directory — for example, inside a locally-vendored theme under themes/. Themes mounted as Go modules from GitHub have symlinks stripped on download and are not affected. Multi-directory walks (e.g. content/asset walking) were not affected either; only direct lookups via resources.Get followed symlinks.

Description. Hugo's virtual filesystem is designed so that files under a mount cannot reach outside the mount tree. A regression introduced in v0.123.0 caused RootMappingFs.statRoot to call Stat (which follows symlinks) instead of Lstat, so a direct resources.Get "somefile" where somefile was a symlink pointing outside the mount would return the target's contents. This effectively let a symlink planted inside a theme or local mount read arbitrary files reachable to the user running hugo.

Mitigation. v0.162.0 calls LstatIfPossible and rejects symlinked entries with os.ErrNotExist, matching the behaviour of pre-v0.123.0 releases and of the directory-walking code paths.

Severity

6.9 (Medium)

Earlier versions are not affected.\n**Fixed in:** v0.162.0.\n**Severity:** Medium. Requires the attacker to be able to place (or convince a site author to place) a symlink inside a mounted directory \u2014 for example, inside a locally-vendored theme under `themes/`. Themes mounted as Go modules from GitHub have symlinks stripped on download and are not affected. Multi-directory walks (e.g. content/asset walking) were not affected either; only direct lookups via `resources.Get` followed symlinks.\n\n**Description.** Hugo\u0027s virtual filesystem is designed so that files under a mount cannot reach outside the mount tree. A regression introduced in v0.123.0 caused `RootMappingFs.statRoot` to call `Stat` (which follows symlinks) instead of `Lstat`, so a direct `resources.Get \"somefile\"` where `somefile` was a symlink pointing outside the mount would return the target\u0027s contents. This effectively let a symlink planted inside a theme or local mount read arbitrary files reachable to the user running `hugo`.\n\n**Mitigation.** v0.162.0 calls `LstatIfPossible` and rejects symlinked entries with `os.ErrNotExist`, matching the behaviour of pre-v0.123.0 releases and of the directory-walking code paths.",

Scope

3 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2026-50135.

CVE-2026-50135

A flaw was found in Hugo, a static site generator. A regression in the `resources.Get` function caused it to follow symbolic links (symlinks), which are special files that point to other files or directories. This vulnerability allows an attacker who can place a symlink within a local mount point, such as a vendored theme, to read arbitrary files on the system that are accessible to the user running Hugo. This could lead to unauthorized information disclosure.
