Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Expected behavior violation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4435)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to change expected behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when using a TarFile.errorlevel = 0 and extracting with a filter the documented behavior. A remote attacker can force the application to extract files that were meant to be skipped.
2) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23419)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an TLS session resumption when handling client certificate authentication. A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that name-based virtual hosts are configured to share the same IP address and port combination and have TLS 1.3 and OpenSSL. This vulnerability arises when TLS session tickets are used and/or the SSL session cache is used in the default virtual server and the default virtual server is performing client certificate authentication.
3) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4330)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue when extracting data from an archive in the tarfile module. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and overwrite arbitrary files outside the destination directory.
4) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4138)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue when extracting data from an archive in the tarfile module. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and overwrite arbitrary files outside the destination directory during extraction with filter="data"..
5) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-47273)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in package_index.py. A remote attacker can trick the victim into installing a specially crafted script and overwrite arbitrary files on the system, leading to code execution.
