This flaw can be exploited by an authenticated admin user to overwrite files anywhere on the filesystem accessible to the Fledge process. Organizations using Fledge should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate the risk of unauthorized file manipulation and potential system compromise.

Original NVD Description

Fledge's backup-restore upload handler, upload_backup (python/fledge/services/core/api/backup_restore.py), calls tarfile.extractall(temp_path) on an admin-uploaded tar archive with no filter argument and no per-member path validation. Requires the admin role (@has_permission("admin")).
