CVE-2026-64679 runatlantis CVE debrief

Atlantis, a self-hosted golang application, is vulnerable to a path traversal attack. This occurs due to inconsistent validation of user-controlled workspace values supplied through accepted repository-level atlantis.yaml configuration or authenticated /api/plan input. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create, delete, or reuse writable paths with the privileges of the Atlantis process, potentially leading to integrity loss or denial of service. The issue affects Atlantis versions 0.19.8 to 0.45.0 and is fixed in version 0.45.0. Users should review the official advisory and CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance.
