What an attacker can do

An attacker with access to insert data into the database can craft an entry name with an absolute path (e.g., /etc/...) or use parent directory traversal (../../..) to escape the restore root when a backup is restored, potentially creating or overwriting files in arbitrary locations within the application's privilege scope. Source advisory’s CVSS 3.1 assessment (base score 7.2/10) rates confidentiality, integrity and availability impact as high.
