    LM Studio model downloader path traversal lets a crafted model run code on every launch (CVE-2026-119979), fixed in 0.4.22+1

    LM Studio, the desktop app for running large language models locally, has a path traversal flaw in its model downloader (CVE-2026-119979, CVSS 4.0 8.7 high). Before 0.4.22+1, resolveDownloadRequest accepted backslash-separated traversal filenames, so a crafted model repository could write files outside the models directory. VulnCheck says an attacker who tricks a user into downloading such a model can plant a plugin manifest.json, install-state.json and mcp-bridge-config.json that run an attacker-supplied Python payload every time LM Studio launches. The bug was credited to Ariel Fogel of Pillar Security and is fixed in LM Studio 0.4.22+1.
