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

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 1.0.1
Affected range stops below 1.0.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
5.0 ≤ v < 5.0.6
Affected range stops below 5.0.6, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
