CVE-2022-23531

7.8 highEPSS 0.7%

High (7.8) in datadoghq guarddog. EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in guarddog 0.1.5.

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.
