Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the OneNote converter component of Joplin. The root cause is a failure to sanitize the names of embedded files within a .one archive before writing them to disk. An attacker can craft a malicious OneNote file containing filenames with path traversal sequences (e.g., '../../'). When a user imports this file, the application interprets these sequences as part of the target path, allowing the attacker to write or overwrite arbitrary files outside of the intended import directory. This vulnerability is triggered during the extraction of attachments and has been addressed in version 3.5.7 by implementing proper filename sanitization.
