CVE-2023-35947
Description
A flaw was found in Gradle. When unpacking Tar archives, Gradle did not check that files could be written outside the unpack location. This issue could lead to important files being overwritten anywhere the Gradle process has write permissions. This flaw allows an attacker with control of an archive's source used by the build or capability to modify the build to interact with a malicious archive and overwrite existing archives or extract information from sensitive files.
Mitigation
There is currently no known mitigation for this issue.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
