Technical details

The Upgrade Wizard's commit flow trusts an unsanitized hidden zip_to_dir parameter without proper validation; the clean_path() function fails to reject directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../). An authenticated administrator can craft a malicious package archive to extract files outside the destination directory, enabling file overwrite, arbitrary PHP execution in the web root, or denial of service.
