Description

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.

Affected products

• Pivotal Spring Integration Zip: before 1.0.1 — fixed in 1.0.1
• Pivotal Spring Integration Zip: from 5.0.x prior through 5.0.6; 4.3.x prior to 4.3.17

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Pivotal Spring Integration Zip 1.0.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
