Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in oc-mirror's operator catalog image extraction when using --v1 or --use-oci-feature flags. The tool extracts tar entries from catalog image layers without validating that extracted paths remain within the intended destination directory, allowing entries with traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../) to write files elsewhere. An attacker controlling a malicious operator catalog image can exploit this with local user interaction to write arbitrary files with the privileges of the oc-mirror process.
