The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file during file upload via the MultiPartParser, UploadedFile, and FieldFile methods. A remote attacker can upload a file with a specially crafted filename containing directory traversal characters and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
