  "details": "### Impact\n\nWhen extracting an archive to a directory, a crafted archive can read or write files outside that directory. The flaw is in the code that writes the parsed entries, so it affects every format decompress handles: tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, and zip by default, plus any others added through the plugins option.\n\nA link (hardlink) or symlink entry is created without checking where its target points. A hardlink can be aimed at any file the running process can read; that file then appears inside the output directory and its contents are exposed. A symlink can point outside the output directory and redirect a later write.\n\nThe path containment check used a string prefix comparison (`realPath.indexOf(outputPath) !== 0`). Output `/srv/out` does not contain `/srv/out-old`, but the prefix comparison treats it as inside, so an entry can escape into a sibling directory whose name starts with the output directory name.\n\nFile modes were applied as `mode \u0026 ~umask`, which does not remove the setuid, setgid, or sticky bits. A crafted entry can create a setuid or setgid file. This matters when extraction runs as root, for example in CI, containers, or install scripts.\n\nAny code that extracts archives from an untrusted or attacker-influenced source is affected. Archives are commonly downloaded before extraction, so this is reachable over the network in many setups.\n\n### Patches\n\nFixed in `@xhmikosr/decompress` 10.2.1 and 11.1.3. Link targets are now resolved and checked against the output directory, containment uses `path.relative`, and setuid, setgid, and sticky bits are removed.\n\nThe upstream `decompress` package is unmaintained, and all versions through its last release (4.2.1) have the same flaws. There is no upstream fix. Migrate to `@xhmikosr/decompress` 11.1.3 or later.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nExtract only archives you trust. Run extraction as a non-root user so the mode issue cannot create a privileged file. After extracting, reject any symlink or hardlink that points outside the target and any file with unexpected mode bits.\n\n### Resources\n\n* Related prior issue in the upstream project this package forks: CVE-2020-12265 / GHSA-qgfr-5hqp-vrw9\n* Fix commits and releases:\n  * https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/releases/tag/v10.2.1\n  * https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/releases/tag/v11.1.3\n  * https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/commit/aca5aac\n  * https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/commit/281cefa\n  * https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/commit/60b5299",

  "details": "A flaw was found in KubeVirt\u0027s virt-exportserver component. An attacker with specific namespace-level access can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the VMExport directory endpoint. By placing a symbolic link (symlink) within an exported filesystem Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) that points outside its designated mount root, the attacker can read arbitrary files from the exporter pod\u0027s filesystem. This leads to information disclosure, potentially exposing sensitive data.",

  "details": "Poly Plantronics Hub Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Poly Plantronics Hub. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.\n\nThe specific flaw exists within the Spokes Update Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-18271.",
