Summary
kedro-datasets from 9.3.0 through 9.6.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in MatplotlibDataset.save() that allows attackers to write files outside the dataset directory by supplying absolute plot names. Because validate_sub_path() strips leading slashes while pathlib's join discards the base path, attackers can create or overwrite files anywhere the process can write.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can create or overwrite files anywhere the process has write access, potentially leading to data corruption or code execution.
Recommendation
Upgrade kedro-datasets beyond 9.6.0 and validate plot names by rejecting absolute paths.
Other vulnerabilities in kedro-datasets
See all- CVE-2026-62997High
Kedro-Datasets provides data connectors for Kedro. From version 5.0.0 until 9.5.0, kedro_datasets_experimental.pytorch.PyTorchDataset in kedro-datasets loads .pt model files with torch.load without enforcing weights_only=True, and user-supplied load_args are silently dropped. On PyTorch versions earlier than 2.6, a malicious pickle-backed model from an attacker-influenced shared registry, downloaded checkpoint, or partitioned external source can execute arbitrary code when a Kedro pipeline loads it.
- CVE-2026-35492Medium
In Kedro-Datasets prior to 9.3.0, PartitionedDataset is vulnerable to path traversal because partition IDs are concatenated directly with the base path without validation. A malicious partition ID containing .. components can cause files to be written outside the configured directory, potentially overwriting arbitrary files.
