Root code execution via Zip Slip extraction
Published Jul 13, 2023 · Updated Oct 30, 2024
Path traversal in SonicWall GMS 9.3.2-SP1 and earlier and Analytics 2.5.0.4-R7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to write files. A web service extracts attacker-supplied ZIP entries without confining their paths to the intended directory, enabling writes anywhere on the underlying filesystem. Valid application credentials are required for direct exploitation; files are written with root privileges, enabling code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
