CVE-2021-43099
An Archive Extraction (AKA "Zip Slip) vulnerability exists in bbs 5.3 in the UpgradeNow function in UpgradeManageAction.java, which unzips the arbitrary upladed zip file without checking filenames.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
