Technical details

The icongenie generate --profile command fails to constrain the destination path when processing user-supplied folder and name values from a profile. By traversing parent directories, an attacker can write or overwrite files at arbitrary locations writable by the developer running the command. The vulnerability stems from insufficient path validation in get-assets-files.js and validate-profile-object.js.
