An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-36566 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20201201191210-20a61371de5b\n- github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20201201191210-20a61371de5b\n- github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20201201191210-20a61371de5b\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36566/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36566/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-36566","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36566/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-36566","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jpf8-h7h7-3ppm","GO-2021-0106"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Go tar utility library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can write or overwrite files outside the target directory via malicious archives, affecting applications using this Go library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Go","cpe":[{"product":"tar-utils","vendor":"tar-utils_project"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Due to improper path sanitization, archives containing relative file paths can cause files to be written (or overwritten) outside of the target directory.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils","id":"CVE-2020-36566","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Arbitrary log line injection in github.com/gin-gonic/gin","id":"CVE-2020-36567"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20201201191210-20a61371de5b"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jpf8-h7h7-3ppm"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20201201191210-20a61371de5b"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils","source":"GHSA-jpf8-h7h7-3ppm"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20201201191210-20a61371de5b"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils","source":"GO-2021-0106"}],"prev":{"headline":"Directory traversal on Windows in github.com/labstack/echo/v4","id":"CVE-2020-36565"},"products":["github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils"],"published":"2022-12-27","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-11","vendors":["github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils"]},"summary":"Attackers can write or overwrite files outside the target directory via malicious archives, affecting applications using this Go library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36566/"}
