Last modified

CVE-2018-1261 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Spring-integration-zip versions prior to 1.0.1 exposes an arbitrary file write vulnerability, which can be achieved using a specially crafted zip archive (affects other archives as well, bzip2, tar, xz, war, cpio, 7z) that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, the final path ends up outside of the target folder.. EPSS estimates a 1.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
