Arbitrary file write via unchecked ZIP paths
Published Mar 10, 2026 · Updated Mar 10, 2026
Path traversal in Vaadin Flow and Platform allows attackers to write files outside the Node.js extraction directory via a crafted ZIP archive. DefaultArchiveExtractor concatenates untrusted entry names with the destination without verifying the normalized result remains beneath that directory. Affected releases span 14.2.0 through 14.14.0, 15.0.0 through 23.6.7, 24.0.0 through 24.9.9, and 25.0.0 through 25.0.3; exploitation requires an absent local Node.js installation and control or interception of its download.

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.
- Affected versionversion=14.2.0 <=14.14.0
- Affected versionversion=23.0.0 <=23.6.6
- Affected versionversion=24.0.0 <=24.9.8
- Affected versionversion=25.0.0 <=25.0.2
