Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Path Traversal via the file upload process. An attacker can manipulate the file path and content by providing a custom filename in the multipart/form-data request, allowing the file to be written to arbitrary locations on the server where the Java process has write permissions.

Note: Genie users who do not store these attachments locally on the underlying file system are not vulnerable to this issue.
