Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Zulip is an open-source team collaboration tool. From version 1.4.0 to before version 11.6, ./manage.py import reads arbitrary files from the server filesystem via path traversal in uploads/records.json. A crafted export tarball causes the server to copy any file the zulip user can read into the uploads directory during import. This issue has been patched in version 11.6.
