Opensecurity
CVE-2024-43399 in Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) allows for directory traversal due to an improperly implemented Zip Slip prevention measure. This critical vulnerability, present in versions before 4.0.7, enables attackers to extract files to arbitrary locations on the server running MobSF. The flaw resides within the Static Libraries analysis section, specifically during the handling of .a extension files. With an SVRS score of 84, this CVE demands immediate attention and patching. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and complete system compromise. Upgrade to MobSF version 4.0.7 or later to mitigate this risk. This vulnerability is significant because it allows attackers to bypass security measures intended to protect the server and its data.
