Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in VMware Spring Integration up to 6.4.12/6.5.10/7.0.5/7.1.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code block of the component ZipTransformer. The manipulation of the argument file_name with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

An attacker who can set the file_name header on a message reaching a ZipTransformer with ZipResultType.FILE (the default) can cause the resulting .zip archive to be written to an arbitrary filesystem path outside the configured workDirectory. Spring Integration 7.1.0 Spring Integration 7.0.0 - 7.0.5 Spring Integration 6.5.0 - 6.5.10 Spring Integration 6.4.0 - 6.4.12
