NGINX Agent's "config_dirs" restriction feature allows a highly privileged attacker to gain the ability to write/overwrite files outside of the designated secure directory.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
