Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path for the filename value in the restore() function, which expects a ZIP file as input for the backup project but does not sufficiently sanitize the input. Attackers can supply a malicious file to gain access to unauthorized files on the file system.
