Title
Pulpcore: pulpcore: relative_path_validator bypass via directory traversal in filesystemexport
Summary
A path traversal vulnerability was found in pulpcore. The relative_path_validator function only verifies that content paths do not begin with "/" but fails to block directory traversal sequences such as "../" anywhere in the path. An authenticated administrator can craft a relative_path containing embedded traversal sequences (e.g., "looking/normal/../../../../etc/shadow") that escapes the intended export directory during FilesystemExport operations. Because the file content is also user-controlled (uploaded artifact), this allows arbitrary file write to any location writable by the Pulp service user, potentially leading to service compromise or further system exploitation.

"value": "There is no complete mitigation for this vulnerability. The following measures can reduce risk:\n\n1. If FilesystemExport was never configured on your deployment, you are not affected by this issue.\n2. If FilesystemExporters exist in the database, audit them for path traversal sequences (\"../\"). Existing malicious entries must be cleaned up manually, as the validation functions documented to raise ValidationError do not actually do so in all code paths.\n3. Restrict admin-level access to the Pulp API to only trusted operators. Review and audit which accounts have administrator privileges.\n4. Ensure SELinux is in enforcing mode on Satellite/Pulp servers to limit the directories the Pulp service user can write to.\n5. Monitor filesystem changes outside of expected Pulp directories for signs of exploitation."

"value": "A path traversal vulnerability was found in pulpcore. The relative_path_validator function only verifies that content paths do not begin with \"/\" but fails to block directory traversal sequences such as \"../\" anywhere in the path. An authenticated administrator can craft a relative_path containing embedded traversal sequences (e.g., \"looking/normal/../../../../etc/shadow\") that escapes the intended export directory during FilesystemExport operations. Because the file content is also user-controlled (uploaded artifact), this allows arbitrary file write to any location writable by the Pulp service user, potentially leading to service compromise or further system exploitation."

The relative_path_validator function only verifies that content paths do not begin with \"/\" but fails to block directory traversal sequences such as \"../\" anywhere in the path. An authenticated administrator can craft a relative_path containing embedded traversal sequences (e.g., \"looking/normal/../../../../etc/shadow\") that escapes the intended export directory during FilesystemExport operations. Because the file content is also user-controlled (uploaded artifact), this allows arbitrary file write to any location writable by the Pulp service user, potentially leading to service compromise or further system exploitation."

Workarounds
CNA · redhat
There is no complete mitigation for this vulnerability. The following measures can reduce risk:
1. If FilesystemExport was never configured on your deployment, you are not affected by this issue.
2. If FilesystemExporters exist in the database, audit them for path traversal sequences ("../"). Existing malicious entries must be cleaned up manually, as the validation functions documented to raise ValidationError do not actually do so in all code paths.
3. Restrict admin-level access to the Pulp API to only trusted operators. Review and audit which accounts have administrator privileges.
4. Ensure SELinux is in enforcing mode on Satellite/Pulp servers to limit the directories the Pulp service user can write to.
5. Monitor filesystem changes outside of expected Pulp directories for signs of exploitation.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
