Upgrade github.com/nothub/mrpack-install to 0.16.3
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/nothub/mrpack-install

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-25307, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/nothub/mrpack install:

inspect dependencies for github.com/nothub/mrpack-install

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/nothub/mrpack install in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.16.3), 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-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Github.com/nothub/mrpack install, 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

### Impact Importing a malicious `.mrpack` file can cause path traversal while downloading files. This can lead to scripts or config files being placed or replaced at arbitrary locations, without the user noticing. ### Patches No patches yet. ### Workarounds Avoid importing `.mrpack` files from untrusted sources. ### References https://docs.modrinth.com/docs/modpacks/format_definition/#files
