Summary
AWS GluonTS from 0 before 0.17.0 contains a path traversal flaw in its archive extraction utility (CWE-22). A local attacker without privileges can write arbitrary files outside the intended extraction directory, with the privileges of the extracting process, by supplying a crafted tar archive that contains symbolic or hard links. The attack requires a user to extract the archive.

Description from the CNA
Path traversal in the archive extraction utility in GluonTS before 0.17.0 might allow an actor who supplies a crafted tar archive to write arbitrary files outside the intended extraction directory with the privileges of the extracting process via symbolic or hard links contained in the archive. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 0.17.0 or later.
