Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the RestoreTask.java plugin (package from ghidra.app.plugin.core.archive). A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file with archived results, trick the victim into loading it and overwrite arbitrary files on the system with privileges on the current user.
