Summary
Aklivity Zilla versions from 1.3.0 before 2.5.0-rc3 are affected. A weakness in the Path.resolve handling of the params argument in the FileSystemServerFactory of the http-filesystem binding allows path traversal (CWE-22), which lets a remote attacker without privileges or user interaction reach files outside the intended directory. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA
A weakness has been identified in Aklivity Zilla up to 1.3.4/2.4.7/2.5.0-rc2. The affected element is the function Path.resolve of the file FileSystemServerFactory of the component http-filesystem Binding. This manipulation of the argument params causes path traversal. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 2.5.0-rc3 is sufficient to fix this issue. Patch name: 46a8b15cbea157f7ae8b7cb865809a02fd6b1988. You should upgrade the affected component.
