Title
Awx: project archive extraction allows path traversal file writes
Summary
A path traversal vulnerability was found in AWX's project archive extraction. The project_archive action plugin extracts zip and tar archive members by joining the project directory path with the member filename without performing path normalization, boundary validation, or rejecting directory traversal sequences. A malicious archive containing members with path traversal components can write files to arbitrary locations on the execution node's filesystem outside the intended project directory. An attacker who controls the archive content, either through a compromised upstream source, a malicious archive URL, or a man-in-the-middle attack on a plain HTTP connection, can achieve arbitrary file writes as the user performing the extraction, potentially leading to remote code execution through mechanisms such as cron files, SSH authorized keys, or playbook content injection.

{

"value": "There is no complete mitigation for this vulnerability other than applying the update when available. However, the following measures reduce exposure:\n\n1. Avoid using archive-type projects (scm_type=\u0027archive\u0027) until the fix is applied. Use Git-based projects (scm_type=\u0027git\u0027) instead where possible, as these do not use the vulnerable extraction code path.\n2. Ensure all archive source URLs use HTTPS with valid certificates to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks on archive downloads.\n3. Only configure archive-type projects with sources from trusted, verified providers.\n4. Restrict the ability to create and modify projects to trusted administrators.\n5. In containerized deployments, review execution environment container configurations to minimize host volume mounts and ensure the extraction runs with minimal filesystem permissions."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
