Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-46394)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of filenames inside a tar archive. A remote attacker can add a specially crafted file into an archive and trick the victim into overwriting critical files on the system, leading to a potential privilege escalation.
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-60876)
CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to BusyBox wget accepting raw CR (0x0D)/LF (0x0A) and other C0 control bytes in the HTTP request-target (path/query), allowing the request line to be split and attacker-controlled headers to be injected. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to the application.
