23th percentile - higher than 23% of all known CVEs

Summary

An interface that accepts file uploads from authenticated users extracts the contents of uploaded archives without validating that extracted file paths remain within the intended destination directory. This allows an authenticated attacker to craft an archive whose entries traverse outside the destination directory, causing the extraction process to write files to arbitrary locations with the privileges of that process.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could inject fabricated records into the system's stored data or tamper with application configuration. This can compromise data integrity and system security.

Recommendation

Validate extracted file paths and ensure they remain within the destination directory (path traversal protection). Update the archive extraction mechanism with appropriate checks.
