Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Eclipse Semantic Modeling Framework up to 2.2.1 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown part of the component esmf-sdk-py-aspect-model-loader. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In esmf-sdk-py-aspect-model-loader versions 2.1.2 to 2.2.1, the Aspect Model loader resolves cross-file model references by extracting the third and fourth colon-separated components of any urn:samm:… namespace declared in a parsed Turtle file to build a directory to scan. A model file containing @prefix x: <urn:samm:../../../foo:bar#> or @prefix x: <urn:samm:/abs/path:bar#> causes the loader to glob and parse *.ttl files from arbitrary directories outside the intended models root, merging their contents into the returned graph.
