| Description | When a Tauri application uses the dialog plugin's file or folder picker, an attacker with JavaScript execution (XSS) can force the scope expansion to be recursive, granting read/write access to an entire directory tree after a single user click on a normal-looking OS file dialog. The user has no indication that recursive access was granted, and the expanded scope cannot be revoked for the lifetime of the application. |

Solutions
CNA: The fix is to stop taking the recursion flag from the caller. Grant what was actually chosen: the one file, or the one folder and nothing below it. An app that genuinely needs a recursive grant can ask for one in its own Rust code, where the frontend cannot reach it.
There are currently no legacy QID mappings associated with this CVE.
