CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedApache Ivy versions 2.0.0 to 2.5.3 are vulnerable due to a directory traversal issue in the PackagerResolver, allowing an attacker with access to a packager repository to manipulate module coordinates and overwrite files outside the designated "buildRoot" directory. This could lead to unauthorized file modifications, potentially compromising the integrity of the system. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to Ivy 2.6.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
The PackagerResolver of Apache Ivy is able to download online artifacts and to (re)package them in a format defined by a packager.xml file. This repackaging is done by an Ant script, which is stored in a subdirectory of the configured "buildRoot" directory. This subdirectory is calculated based on modules coordinates, like the organisation, name or version. If one of the coordinates contains "../" sequences - which are valid characters for Ivy coordinates in general- it is possible to break out of the configured "buildRoot" directory where other files can be overwritten. In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker needs to have access to a packager repository and add or modify the coordinates in ivy.xml files to have such "../" sequences. Users of Apache Ivy 2.0.0 to 2.5.3 (inclusive) should upgrade to Ivy 2.6.0.
