CVE-2024-36116Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote file overwrite via unsanitized archive paths

Published Jun 19, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Path traversal in dzikoysk Reposilite 3.3.0 through 3.5.11 allows remote attackers to overwrite server files via Javadoc archives. JavadocContainerService concatenates each untrusted archive entry name with the extraction directory, then creates directories and writes the entry without confining the resolved path. An unauthenticated request can trigger extraction when a repository mirrors an attacker-controlled package, enabling package replacement or code execution through a plugin write.
