Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to write arbitrary files.
The vulnerability exists due to path traversal in the extractFile function when extracting archive entries with traversal sequences or absolute paths. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted archive to write arbitrary files.
If a written file is later used as an executable or configuration file, this may lead to code execution in the context of the current working user.
