pyLoad has an Arbitrary File Write via Path Traversal in edit_package()
The edit_package() function implements insufficient sanitization for the pack_folder parameter. The current protection relies on a single-pass string replacement of "../", which can be bypassed using crafted recursive traversal sequences. Exploitation An authenticated user with MODIFY permission can bypass the sanitization by submitting a payload such as: `pack_folder=..././..././..././tmp` After the single-pass replacement, this becomes: `../../../tmp` Because the traversal sequences are not properly validated, the resulting normalized path escapes the intended storage directory and writes files to /tmp or other locations.
