Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: N/A)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error in Ghidra's extension installer. When a user installs a ZIP extension through File -> Install Extensions, the code extracts files without validating the entry names. A malicious ZIP with ../ sequences in filenames can write files outside the intended extension directory.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
