CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedElecterm versions prior to 3.15.120 are vulnerable to a directory traversal attack via a malicious SFTP server, allowing attackers to write arbitrary content outside the intended temporary directory due to unsanitized filename interpolation. This can lead to unauthorized file access or system compromise. Organizations using Electerm for file transfers should prioritize upgrading to the latest version to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
electerm is an open-sourced terminal/ssh/sftp/telnet/serialport/RDP/VNC/Spice/ftp client. Prior to 3.15.120, electerm allows a malicious SFTP server to write attacker-controlled content outside the temporary directory because the server-controlled filename name used by editWithSystemEditor in src/client/components/sftp/file-item.jsx is interpolated into path.resolve without sanitization. This issue is fixed in version 3.15.120.
