Technical details
The importprofile API function at /api/upload fails to properly validate archive member paths when extracting a tar file, allowing directory traversal via the fileName argument. An authenticated attacker can craft a malicious tar archive that extracts files to arbitrary locations on the root filesystem with root privileges, bypassing weak validation that only checks product/version strings and MD5 checksums (both attacker-controllable). The vulnerability requires authentication but allows creation of executable files and symbolic links, enabling arbitrary code execution.
