Path traversal on Windows in path/filepath
GO-2023-1568 · BIT-golang-2022-41722 · CVE-2022-41722
Published · Modified
Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in filepath.Clean on Windows.
On Windows, the filepath.Clean function could transform an invalid path such as "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:\b". This transformation of a relative (if invalid) path into an absolute path could enable a directory traversal attack.
After fix, the filepath.Clean function transforms this path into the relative (but still invalid) path ".\c:\b".
