Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Open-source ARJ archiver version 3.10.22

Description The issue allows remote attackers to conduct absolute path traversal attacks and write to arbitrary files via multiple leading slashes in a path in an ARJ archive. This occurs because the Open-source ARJ archiver does not properly remove leading slashes from paths.

Recommendations For version 3.10.22, consider restricting the use of ARJ archives from untrusted sources until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, manually inspect and remove any multiple leading slashes in paths within ARJ archives to minimize the risk of exploitation.
