(This document is canonically: https://advisories.nats.io/CVE/CVE-2022-26652.txt) Background NATS.io is a high performance open source pub-sub distributed communication technology, built for the cloud, on-premise, IoT, and edge computing. JetStream is the optional RAFT-based resilient persistent feature of NATS. Problem Description The JetStream streams can be backed up and restored via NATS. The backup format is a tar archive file. Inadequate checks on the filenames within the archive file permit a so-called "Zip Slip" attack in the stream restore. NATS nats-server through 2022-03-09 (fixed in release 2.7.4) did not correctly sanitize elements of the archive file, thus a user of NATS could cause the NATS server to write arbitrary content to an attacker-controlled filename. Affected versions NATS Server: * 2.2.0 up to and including 2.7.3. + Introduced with JetStream Restore functionality * Fixed with nats-io/nats-server: 2.7.4 * Docker image: nats https://hub.docker.com/_/nats * NB users of OS package files from our releases: a change in goreleaser defaults, discovered late in the release process, moved the install directory from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin; we are evaluating the correct solution for subsequent releases, but not recutting this release. NATS Streaming Server * 0.15.0 up to and including 0.24.2 * Fixed with nats-io/nats-streaming-server: 0.24.3 * Embeds a nats-server, but this server is the old approach which JetStream replaces, so unlikely (but…
