HIGH

apple/container < 0.8.0 and apple/containerization < 0.21.0 - Path Traversal via ArchiveReader.extractContents()

Title source: llm

Description

The ArchiveReader.extractContents() function used by cctl image load and container image load performs no pathname validation before extracting an archive member. This means that a carelessly or maliciously constructed archive can extract a file into any user-writable location on the system using relative pathnames. This issue is addressed in container 0.8.0 and containerization 0.21.0.
