Short explanation

CherryTree through 1.7.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in CtStorageXmlHelper::_create_image_from_xml due to trusting unvalidated embedded-file filename attributes in XML documents.

Why does it matter?

Attackers can manipulate specially crafted documents to incorporate sensitive local files into the application, leading to the exposure of confidential information.

What should be done?

Follow vendor security advisories
Exercise caution when handling untrusted documents

Show the technical text from the sources

CherryTree through 1.7.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in CtStorageXmlHelper::_create_image_from_xml that trusts unvalidated embedded-file 'filename' attributes in XML documents. Attackers can craft a .ctd, .ctz, or .ctx document with an absolute or ~/ filename and no data, so saving embeds files like ~/.ssh/id_rsa into the document.
