CVE-2021-29425: Possible limited path traversal vulnerabily in Apache Commons IO

First published: Mon Apr 12 2021(Updated: )

Apache Commons IO could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper input validation by the FileNameUtils.normalize method. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
