5.5 MediumFix available

CVE-2018-8008 is a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.5) in Apache Storm, published June 5, 2018. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 2.25%, the 82nd percentile. Fixed in org.apache.storm:storm-core 1.2.2.

Apache Storm version 1.0.6 and earlier, 1.2.1 and earlier, and version 1.1.2 and earlier expose an arbitrary file write vulnerability, that can be achieved using a specially crafted zip archive (affects other archives as well, bzip2, tar, xz, war, cpio, 7z), that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, the final path ends up outside of the target folder.
