{"id":"CVE-2022-23531","summary":"Arbitrary file write when scanning a specially-crafted local PyPI package","details":"GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. Versions prior to 0.1.5 are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal when scanning a specially-crafted local PyPI package. Running GuardDog against a specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog is executed due to a path traversal vulnerability when extracting the .tar.gz file of the package being scanned, which exists by design in the tarfile.TarFile.extractall function. This issue is patched in version 0.1.5.","aliases":["GHSA-rp2v-v467-q9vq","PYSEC-2022-42994"],"modified":"2026-04-13T04:19:45.900618Z","published":"2022-12-16T23:41:15.078Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-23"],"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/23xxx/CVE-2022-23531.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/pull/89/commits/a56aff58264cb6b7855d71b00dc10c39a5dbd306"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/releases/tag/v0.1.5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/23xxx/CVE-2022-23531.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/security/advisories/GHSA-rp2v-v467-q9vq"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23531"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/datadog/guarddog","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"98af5c8c1e9c15fa888c900252e76116b0ec25d1"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.1.5"}],"source":["CPE_FIELD","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:datadoghq:guarddog:*:*:*:*:*:python:*:*"}}],"versions":["v0.0.1","v0.0.2","v0.0.3","v0.1.0","v0.1.1","v0.1.2","v0.1.3","v0.1.4"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-23531.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L"}]}
