Exploitation Summary

AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a functional proof-of-concept for CVE-2019-10743, demonstrating the Zip Slip vulnerability in the mholt/archiver Go package. It includes a Dockerized environment with a vulnerable server and a Python script to exploit path traversal during ZIP extraction.

Description

All versions of archiver allow attacker to perform a Zip Slip attack via the "unarchive" functions. It is exploited using a specially crafted zip archive, that holds path traversal filenames. When exploited, a filename in a malicious archive is concatenated to the target extraction directory, which results in the final path ending up outside of the target folder. For instance, a zip may hold a file with a "../../file.exe" location and thus break out of the target folder. If an executable or a configuration file is overwritten with a file containing malicious code, the problem can turn into an arbitrary code execution issue quite easily.
