CVE-2024-5581Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unvalidated archive paths

Published Nov 22, 2024 · Updated Nov 25, 2024

Path traversal in Alltena GmbH Allegra before 7.5.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via crafted archive paths. The unzipFile method uses a user-supplied path in file operations without validating that extraction remains within the intended directory. A high-privilege authenticated account is required, and successful exploitation executes code under the Windows LOCAL SERVICE account.
