IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform: Path traversal in archive extraction
Summary
IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.8 do not properly validate file paths during archive extraction, a Zip Slip path traversal flaw (CWE-22). A remote attacker with a valid low-privilege account can exploit it to execute arbitrary code, according to IBM's CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8. IBM's advisory does not describe any workaround.
Affected
- IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 5.0.0 through 5.0.8
- Platforms named by IBM: Linux, Windows, AIX
Fixed in
- Upgrade to IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 5.0.9 or a later supported release containing the fix
- IBM recommends applying the latest available maintenance
Workaround
Unknown. IBM's advisory lists no workaround or mitigation.
Exploitation
- No evidence of exploitation in the wild found in the sources reviewed.
- Not listed as known exploited (KEV) in the aggregators checked; no CISA KEV entry found.
- CISA SSVC: exploitation none, automatable no, technical impact total.
- No public proof of concept found.
Our recommendation
- Check whether any TRIRIGA instance exists in your environment, including vendor-hosted or partner-managed systems.
- Confirm the installed version. If it is 5.0.0 to 5.0.8, plan the upgrade to 5.0.9 or later.
- Until patched, restrict who holds accounts and review which users can upload archives.
- Monitor for unexpected file writes and code execution on TRIRIGA servers.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
