Summary

Pake before 3.13.1 joins the JavaScript-supplied filename for the download_file Tauri command onto the user's Downloads directory with no sanitization. A filename containing path traversal sequences or an absolute path resolves outside ~/Downloads. The command fetches attacker-controlled content from the supplied URL and writes it to that path, potentially overwriting user-writable files and installing persistence, leading to code execution.

Risk Assessment

Risk of code execution in the user context, potentially leading to account takeover and persistent presence on the system.

Recommendation

Update Pake to version 3.13.1 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. Additionally, restrict the ability to invoke the download_file command to trusted scripts only.

Other vulnerabilities in Pake

CVE-2026-96454High
Pake, a tool that turns websites into Tauri-based desktop applications, generates apps with two unsafe default settings. The IPC capability configuration accepts connections from any HTTPS origin (wildcard "https://*.*"), and withGlobalTauri exposes the native Tauri API to ordinary page JavaScript. Because Tauri's access control list only checks plugin commands (plugin:), not app commands registered by the application, any HTTPS origin can invoke the app's native commands, including download_file.

Original NVD description (English source)

Pake before 3.13.1 joins the JavaScript-supplied filename for the download_file Tauri command onto the user's Downloads directory with no sanitization. A filename containing path traversal sequences (for example ../Library/LaunchAgents/com.evil.plist) or an absolute path resolves outside ~/Downloads. The command then fetches attacker-controlled content from the supplied URL (via Rust HTTP, not the browser) and writes it to that path. A script that can invoke the command can overwrite user-writable files and install persistence (macOS LaunchAgents, Linux autostart, Windows Startup), leading to code execution in the user account. All desktop apps generated from an affected Pake tree expose the same command.
