Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via a crafted symlink in the templates directory during image import or instance backup restoration processes. An attacker can access and modify arbitrary files on the host system, potentially leading to command execution, by supplying a malicious image or backup containing a top-level symlink that points to sensitive host directories.
