UID2-6704: Suppress CVE-2026-22184 (zlib untgz) - not exploitable#2426
Conversation
The vulnerability is in zlib's contrib/untgz demo utility, not the core libz library. Alpine does not ship the untgz binary, and the JRE only uses libz for compression. The zlib maintainer disputes this CVE and removed the untgz tool entirely. Not exploitable in our context. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
