Descriptions

A path traversal vulnerability exists in Esri ArcGIS Earth versions 1.11.0 and below which allows arbitrary file creation on an affected system through crafted input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain arbitrary code execution under security context of the user running ArcGIS Earth by inducing the user to upload a crafted file to an affected system.

Se presenta una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta en Esri ArcGIS Earth versiones 1.11.0 y anteriores, que permite la creación de archivos arbitrarios en un sistema afectado por medio de una entrada diseñada. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad para obtener una ejecución de código arbitraria en el contexto de seguridad del usuario que ejecuta ArcGIS Earth al inducir al usuario a cargar un archivo diseñado en un sistema afectado

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Esri ArcGIS Earth. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of KMZ files. When handling filenames specified within a KMZ file, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user.
