eXtplorer Archive Path Traversal
eXtplorer unzip/extract feature allows for path traversal as decompressed files can be placed outside of the intended target directory, if the archive content contains "../" characters. This can result in files like ".htaccess" being overwritten or RCE / back door exploits.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the application is not vulnerable to path traversal attacks by validating user input and sanitizing it.
