PYSEC-2022-42994

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2022-12-17 00:15 - Updated: 2023-05-04 04:29

Details

GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. Versions prior to 0.1.5 are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal when scanning a specially-crafted local PyPI package. Running GuardDog against a specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog is executed due to a path traversal vulnerability when extracting the .tar.gz file of the package being scanned, which exists by design in the tarfile.TarFile.extractall function. This issue is patched in version 0.1.5.

GHSA-RP2V-V467-Q9VQ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-12-02 22:25 – Updated: 2024-11-18 16:26

Summary

GuardDog vulnerable to arbitrary file write when scanning a specially-crafted PyPI package

Details

Impact

Running GuardDog against a specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog is executed.

This is due to a path traversal vulnerability when extracting the .tar.gz file of the package being scanned, which exists by design in the tarfile.TarFile.extractall function. See also https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile.TarFile.extractall

Remediation

Upgrade to GuardDog v0.1.5 or more recent.
