A vulnerability in all versions of Kuba allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files in arbitrary directories with crafted Zip files due to improper validation of file paths in .zip archives.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.74%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
