CVE-2026-41196
Luanti (formerly Minetest) is an open source voxel game-creation platform. Starting in version 5.0.0 and prior to versio
Luanti (formerly Minetest) is an open source voxel game-creation platform. Starting in version 5.0.0 and prior to version 5.15.2, a malicious mod can trivially escape the sandboxed Lua environment to execute arbitrary code and gain full filesystem access on the user's device. This applies to the server-side mod, async and mapgen as well as the client-side (CSM) environments.
This vulnerability is only exploitable when using LuaJIT. Version 5.15.2 contains a patch. On release versions, one can also patch this issue without recompiling by editing builtin/init.lua and adding the line getfenv = nil at the end.
Note that this will break mods relying on this function (which is not inherently unsafe).
