Path traversal in extarctZippedFile in Alltena GmbH Allegra 7.5.0 build 29 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The method uses a user-supplied path in file operations without restricting it to the intended extraction directory. Authentication is normally required but can be bypassed, and successful exploitation runs code as LOCAL SERVICE.
