CVE-2023-34460
CWE-285Published: June 23, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
Tauri is a framework for building binaries for all major desktop platforms. The 1.4.0 release includes a regression on the Filesystem scope check for dotfiles on Unix. Previously dotfiles were not implicitly allowed by the glob wildcard scopes (eg. `$HOME/*`), but a regression was introduced when a configuration option for this behavior was implemented. Only Tauri applications using wildcard scopes in the `fs` endpoint are affected. The regression has been patched on version 1.4.1.
Risk Analysis
A regression in the Tauri framework's filesystem scope check allows unauthorized access to dotfiles on Unix systems. This critical vulnerability carries a 9.8 CVSS score, indicating high potential for impact.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.
Update Tauri applications to version 1.4.1 or later.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-34460 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
