{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2026-32731","aliases":["GHSA-mwxc-m426-3f78"],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"ApostropheCMS is an open-source content management framework. Prior to version 3.5.3 of `@apostrophecms/import-export`,\nThe `extract()` function in `gzip.js` constructs file-write paths using `fs.createWriteStream(path.join(exportPath, header.name))`. `path.join()` does not resolve or sanitise traversal segments such as `../`. It concatenates them as-is, meaning a tar entry named `../../evil.js` resolves to a path outside the intended extraction directory. No canonical-path check is performed before the write stream is opened. This is a textbook Zip Slip vulnerability. Any user who has been granted the Global Content Modify permission — a role routinely assigned to content editors and site managers — can upload a crafted `.tar.gz` file through the standard CMS import UI and write attacker-controlled content to any path the Node.js process can reach on the host filesystem. Version 3.5.3 of `@apostrophecms/import-export` fixes the issue.","dates":{"published":"2026-03-18T22:03:25.682Z","modified":"2026-03-19T16:04:47.962Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","score":10,"severity":"critical","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"OSV
