CVE-2026-114104: adm-zip inconsistent entry resolution in ZIP extraction

CVE-2026-114104 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-10-21

adm-zip is a JavaScript library for reading and writing ZIP archives. The library has a flaw where duplicate entry names in a ZIP file are handled inconsistently: one function returns the last duplicate while another writes the first, allowing attackers to bypass content validation. An application that validates a ZIP entry before extraction could approve one file's content while actually writing different bytes to disk.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 0.6.1

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from inconsistent data structure usage: getEntry() lookups use an entry table that retains only the last duplicate entry, while extractAllTo() iterates an entry list that contains all duplicates in order. An attacker crafts a malicious ZIP with duplicate entry names to cause getEntry() and extractAllTo() to resolve the same name to different content, bypassing validate-then-extract patterns.
