CVE-2018-1261: VMware Spring Integration Zip

Medium severity, CVSS 4.7. EPSS: 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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

• VMware Spring Integration Zip: before 1.0.1 (fixed in 1.0.1)
