This vulnerability is a Path Traversal issue in the restore_run_backup() function of AIM version 3.28.0. It allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files to the server's filesystem by submitting a specially crafted backup tar file to the run_instruction API. The tar file is extracted during restoration without validating the file paths, enabling attackers to overwrite or create files anywhere on the server.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow attackers to write or overwrite arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution, data corruption, or system compromise. It can undermine the integrity and security of the affected system by allowing malicious files to be placed anywhere on the filesystem.
