Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
decompress (affected versions not specified)
Description
The software is susceptible to Arbitrary File Write via Archive Extraction, also known as Zip Slip. This occurs when extracting a ZIP archive containing two entries with the same path: a symlink to an arbitrary target and a regular file. Due to the microtask processing order, the system checks
readlink for the second file before resolving the symlink for the first, allowing file content to be written through the symlink to a target location outside the output directory. This bypasses existing path traversal protections, including preventWritingThroughSymlink. An attacker can write arbitrary files to the host filesystem, which may lead to remote code execution by providing a specially crafted ZIP archive.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
