CVE-2024-1485

Registry-support: decompress can delete files outside scope via relative paths

Description

A flaw was found in the decompression function of registry-support. This issue can be triggered if an unauthenticated remote attacker tricks a user into parsing a devfile which uses the `parent` or `plugin` keywords.

  • Limit or block the parsing of devfiles from untrusted sources.
