CVE-2026-64679: Atlantis Workspace Handling has Path Traversal that Allows Out-of-Bounds Directory Deletion/Creation
Atlantis versions >= 0.19.8 and < 0.45.0 did not consistently validate user-controlled workspace values before using them to construct local workspace paths.
A crafted workspace value containing path traversal segments could cause Atlantis to resolve workspace paths outside the intended per-pull workspace directory. In vulnerable versions or code paths, Atlantis could create, use, or remove/recreate out-of-bounds directories with the privileges of the Atlantis process user, before Terraform rejected the invalid workspace name.
The issue is fixed in Atlantis 0.45.0.
