Summary

kedro-datasets from 9.3.0 through 9.6.0 contains a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in MatplotlibDataset.save(). The validate_sub_path() check strips leading slashes, but pathlib's join still discards the base path, so absolute plot names escape the dataset directory. A remote attacker with low privileges can create or overwrite files anywhere the process can write.

Description from the CNA

kedro-datasets from 9.3.0 through 9.6.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in MatplotlibDataset.save() that allows attackers to write files outside the dataset directory by supplying absolute plot names. Because validate_sub_path() strips leading slashes while pathlib's join discards the base path, attackers can create or overwrite files anywhere the process can write.
