Summary
Apache Camel Karavan from 3.18.0 before 4.22.1 contains a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in the Git commit path. A project file name supplied through the project file API is used as a path segment without restriction, so names containing ../ sequences write file content outside the project directory. An authenticated user of any role can overwrite application configuration or classpath files and execute code in the Karavan container.

Description from the CNA
Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') vulnerability in Apache Camel Karavan. A project file name supplied through the project file API was used verbatim as a path segment when the project was written to the working copy for a Git commit, so a name containing `../` sequences caused the file content to be written outside the project directory, to any location writable by the Karavan process. An authenticated user of any role could use this to overwrite application configuration or files on the application classpath and so execute code in the Karavan container. This issue affects Apache Camel Karavan: from 3.18.0 before 4.22.1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.22.1, which fixes the issue.
