SharpCompress recreates a hierarchy of directories under destinationDirectory if ExtractFullPath is set to true in options. In order to prevent extraction outside the destination directory the destinationFileName path is verified to begin with fullDestinationDirectoryPath. However it is not enforced that fullDestinationDirectoryPath ends with slash:
public static void WriteEntryToDirectory(IEntry entry,
string destinationDirectory,
ExtractionOptions? options,
Action<string, ExtractionOptions?> write)
{
string destinationFileName;
string file = Path.GetFileName(entry.Key);
string fullDestinationDirectoryPath = Path.GetFullPath(destinationDirectory);
...
throw new ExtractionException("Entry is trying to write a file outside of the destination directory.");
}
If the destinationDirectory is not slash terminated like /home/user/dir it is possible to create a file with a name thats begins as the destination directory one level up from the directory, i.e. /home/user/dir.sh.
Impact
Because of the file name and destination directory constraints the arbitrary file creation impact is limited and depends on the use case.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a low impact on the integrity of the data.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
