Summary

Incorrect path canonicalization during Archive Extraction Leading to Arbitrary File Write

Details

In the archive extraction routine of affected versions of the zip crate, symbolic links earlier in the archive are allowed to be used for later files in the archive without validation of the final canonicalized path, allowing maliciously crafted archives to overwrite arbitrary files in the file system when extracted.

For more details, see the GitHub-hosted security advisory: https://github.com/zip-rs/zip2/security/advisories/GHSA-94vh-gphv-8pm8

Severity

7.3 (High)

CVE-2025-29787 (GCVE-0-2025-29787)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-03-17 13:19 – Updated: 2025-03-19 15:50

Title

zip Vulnerable to Incorrect Path Canonicalization During Archive Extraction, Leading to Arbitrary File Write

Summary

`zip` is a zip library for rust which supports reading and writing of simple ZIP files. In the archive extraction routine of affected versions of the `zip` crate starting with version 1.3.0 and prior to version 2.3.0, symbolic links earlier in the archive are allowed to be used for later files in the archive without validation of the final canonicalized path, allowing maliciously crafted archives to overwrite arbitrary files in the file system when extracted. Users who extract untrusted archive files using the following high-level API method may be affected and critical files on the system may be overwritten with arbitrary file permissions, which can potentially lead to code execution. Version 2.3.0 fixes the issue.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-17 21:26 – Updated: 2025-03-19 15:51

Summary

zip Incorrectly Canonicalizes Paths during Archive Extraction Leading to Arbitrary File Write

Details

Summary

In the archive extraction routine of affected versions of the zip crate, symbolic links earlier in the archive are allowed to be used for later files in the archive without validation of the final canonicalized path, allowing maliciously crafted archives to overwrite arbitrary files in the file system when extracted.

Details

This is a variant of the zip-slip vulnerability, we can make the extraction logic step outside of the target directory by creating a symlink to the parent directory and then extracting further files through that symlink.

The documentation of the [::zip::read::ZipArchive::extract] method is in my opinion implying this should not happen:

"Paths are sanitized with ZipFile::enclosed_name." ... [::zip::read::FileOptions::enclosed_name] ... is resistant to path-based exploits ... can’t resolve to a path outside the current directory.

Most archive software either decline to extract symlinks that traverse out of the directory or defer creation of symlinks after all files have been created to prevent unexpected behavior when later entries depend on earlier symbolic link entries.

PoC

https://gist.github.com/eternal-flame-AD/bf71ef4f6828e741eb12ce7fd47b7b85

Impact

Users who extract untrusted archive files using the following high-level API method may be affected and critical files on the system may be overwritten with arbitrary file permissions, which can potentially lead to code execution.
