Npm · Cross-Zip · CVE-2025-11569
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
cross-zip (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The `cross-zip` JavaScript package, used for zipping and unzipping files in Node.js environments, is susceptible to a directory traversal issue. This arises from improper handling of user-supplied arguments in the `zipSync()` and `unzipSync()` functions, allowing attackers to access arbitrary files on the host system. Exploitation involves manipulating archive contents or extraction paths, potentially leading to information disclosure or further compromise. The issue occurs through consecutive usage of the `zipSync()` and `unzipSync()` functions with arguments such as ` dirname`.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
