CVE-2006-5963
Directory traversal vulnerability in PentaZip 8.5.1.190 and PentaSuite-PRO 8.5.1.221 allows user-assisted remote attackers to extract files to arbitrary pathnames via a ../ (dot dot slash) in a filename.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.70%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
