{"id":"CVE-2019-10743","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2019-10743","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T22:21:53.851Z","title":"All versions of archiver allow attacker to perform a Zip Slip attack via the \"unarchive\" functions.","description":"All versions of archiver allow attacker to perform a Zip Slip attack via the \"unarchive\" functions. It is exploited using a specially crafted zip archive, that holds path traversal filenames. When exploited, a filename in a malicious archive is concatenated to the target extraction directory, which results in the final path ending up outside of the target folder. For instance, a zip may hold a file with a \"../../file.exe\" location and thus break out of the target folder. If an executable or a configuration file is overwritten with a file containing malicious code, the problem can turn into an arbitrary code execution issue quite easily.","published":"2019-10-29T19:15:17.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:11:35.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"report@snyk.io","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":["archiver project/archiver"],"epss":{"score":0.06352,"percentile":0.93604,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (6.35%).
