Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ChatterBot versions prior to 1.2.14
Description
The
UbuntuCorpusTrainer.extract() function uses a predictable home-rooted output directory (~/ubuntu data/ubuntu dialogs) and implements a check-then-create pattern followed by tar.extractall(path=self.data path). This allows a local attacker to pre-plant a symlink at the predictable path, causing archive contents to be written to an attacker-chosen directory.Recommendations
Update to version 1.2.14.
