FKIE_CVE-2022-41722
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2023-02-28 18:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 05:03
Severity
Summary
A path traversal vulnerability exists in filepath.Clean on Windows. On Windows, the filepath.Clean function could transform an invalid path such as "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:\b". This transformation of a relative (if invalid) path into an absolute path could enable a directory traversal attack. After fix, the filepath.Clean function transforms this path into the relative (but still invalid) path ".\c:\b".
