Remediation Steps
- Validate and sanitize all user inputs to ensure they do not contain path traversal sequences (e.g.,
../). - Implement a whitelist of allowed file paths and ensure that all file operations are restricted to these paths.
- Use secure libraries or built-in functions that handle file paths safely.
- Update the software to a patched version once available.
- Conduct a thorough security review of the file handling code to identify and fix any other potential vulnerabilities.
