DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Python-Multipart is a streaming multipart parser for Python. Prior to version 0.0.22, a Path Traversal vulnerability exists when using non-default configuration options UPLOAD_DIR and UPLOAD_KEEP_FILENAME=True. An attacker can write uploaded files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem by crafting a malicious filename. Users should upgrade to version 0.0.22 to receive a patch or, as a workaround, avoid using UPLOAD_KEEP_FILENAME=True in project configurations.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file write in Python-Multipart versions before 0.0.22 allows remote attackers to store uploaded files to any filesystem location when non-default configuration options UPLOAD_DIR and UPLOAD_KEEP_FILENAME=True are enabled. An attacker can exploit this path traversal vulnerability by crafting malicious filenames in multipart uploads, potentially overwriting critical system or application files. …
