Guest-level system file modification via Zip Slip
Published Sep 30, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Zip Slip in Dell Hybrid Client below 1.8 allows local users with guest privileges to modify system files through the UI. The UI extracts ZIP archive entries without constraining traversal paths, allowing crafted names to write outside the intended extraction directory. Exploitation requires local guest access and can alter system files, while the advisory reports no confidentiality or availability impact.
