CVE-2022-3008
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe tinygltf library uses the C library function wordexp() to perform file path expansion on untrusted paths that are provided from the input file. This function allows for command injection by using backticks. An attacker could craft an untrusted path input that would result in a path expansion. We recommend upgrading to 2.6.0 or past commit 52ff00a38447f06a17eab1caa2cf0730a119c751
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisUser input reaches a shell or system command without being fully separated from the command itself, so an attacker can append their own instructions. Because these run with the application's privileges, it often means full control of the host. The lasting fix is to avoid the shell entirely — call APIs directly and pass arguments as data, never as concatenated strings.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.6.0
tinygltf 2.6.0 or commit 52ff00a38447f06a17eab1caa2cf0730a119c751
- Identify how tinygltf is integrated in your project (e.g., vcpkg, Conan, CMake FetchContent, git submodule, or system package)
- For vcpkg users: Run 'vcpkg upgrade' or reinstall with 'vcpkg install tinygltf' to get version 2.6.0
- For Conan users: Update your conanfile.txt or conanfile.py to require 'tinygltf/2.6.0' and re-run 'conan install'
- For CMake FetchContent: Update the GIT_TAG to a version >= 2.6.0 or the specific commit 52ff00a38447f06a17eab1caa2cf0730a119c751
- For git submodule: Navigate to the tinygltf submodule directory and run 'git fetch origin' followed by 'git checkout 52ff00a38447f06a17eab1caa2cf0730a119c751' or 'git checkout v2.6.0'
- For Debian 11.0 systems: Check if a system update provides tinygltf >= 2.6.0 via 'apt update && apt upgrade', or rebuild your application with a fixed tinygltf version
- Rebuild and test your application to confirm the vulnerability is resolved

The advisory tells you what broke. It rarely tells you what actually worked. If you’ve dealt with this one, that detail is what the next engineer is searching for.
