Description
Conda-build contains commands and tools to build conda packages. Prior to version 25.4.0, the conda-build processing logic is vulnerable to path traversal (Tarslip) attacks due to improper sanitization of tar entry paths. Attackers can craft tar archives containing entries with directory traversal sequences to write files outside the intended extraction directory. This could lead to arbitrary file overwrites, privilege escalation, or code execution if sensitive locations are targeted. This issue has been patched in version 25.4.0.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability in conda-build prior to version 25.4.0 is a path traversal (Tarslip) attack caused by improper sanitization of tar archive entry paths. Attackers can craft malicious tar files with directory traversal sequences that allow them to write files outside the intended extraction directory, potentially overwriting arbitrary files, escalating privileges, or executing code.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability can lead to arbitrary file overwrites, privilege escalation, or code execution if attackers target sensitive locations on the system where conda-build extracts files. This can compromise system integrity and security.


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

Upgrade conda-build to version 25.4.0 or later, as this version contains the patch that fixes the path traversal vulnerability.
