CVE-2025-0377Network attack vector

Arbitrary file write via unchecked tar path

Published Jan 21, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

Path traversal in HashiCorp go-slug before 0.16.3 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files through crafted tar entries. During extraction, the unpacker uses header.Name as the destination path and insufficiently validates a nonexistent attacker-supplied path against the extraction root. Exploitation requires a consuming application to extract an attacker-controlled Terraform-compatible slug; writes carry the application's filesystem permissions.
