Assisted Migration Agent: Path traversal in gzipped tarball handling enables arbitrary file write and remote code execution
Quick fix
GHSA-7j4w-x8x8-5mvg — github.com/kubev2v/assisted-migration-agent: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
go get github.com/kubev2v/assisted-migration-agent@v0.16.0Details
A flaw was found in assisted-migration-agent. An unauthenticated attacker, located on the same local area network (LAN), can exploit a path traversal vulnerability. By crafting a specially designed gzipped tarball, the attacker can bypass security checks and write arbitrary files to the system. This could ultimately lead to the execution of unauthorized code on the appliance.
