CVE-2026-52752 Details
Description
Ghidra before 12.0.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the extension installer that fails to validate ZIP entry names during extraction. Attackers can craft malicious extensions with traversal sequences like ../ in filenames to write arbitrary files outside the intended directory, enabling code execution.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Ghidra versions prior to 12.0.2. The issue arises in the extension installer, which does not properly validate ZIP entry names during extraction. This flaw allows attackers to create malicious extensions with traversal sequences, such as '../', in the filenames. When these ZIP files are installed, they can write arbitrary files outside the designated directory, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution.
Users are advised to upgrade to Ghidra version 12.0.2 or later.
