What is CVE-2024-2914?
CVE-2024-2914 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in deepjavalibrary/djl, published on 6 Jun 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
A TarSlip vulnerability exists in the deepjavalibrary/djl, affecting version 0.26.0 and fixed in version 0.27.0. This vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate file paths within tar archives to overwrite arbitrary files on the target system. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, data theft or manipulation, and denial of service. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of file paths during the extraction of tar files, as demonstrated in multiple occurrences within the library's codebase, including but not limited to the files_util.py and extract_imagenet.py scripts.
