How to Fix CVE-2024-1485

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected registry-support dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/devfile/registry-support/registry-library fixed: 0.0.0-20240206 
Upgrade github.com/devfile/registry-support/registry-library to 0.0.0-20240206
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/devfile/registry-support/registry-library

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-1485, inspect your project dependencies for registry-support:

inspect dependencies for github.com/devfile/registry-support/registry-library

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of registry-support in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.0.0-20240206), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-23: Relative Path Traversal, where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ".." that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In registry-support, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability was found in the decompression function of registry-support. This issue can be triggered by an unauthenticated remote attacker when tricking a user into opening a specially modified .tar archive, leading to the cleanup process following relative paths to overwrite or delete files outside the intended scope.
