Description

Titan MFT and Titan SFTP have a feature where .zip files can be automatically extracted when they are uploaded over any supported protocol. Files within the .zip archive are not validated for path traversal characters; as a result, an authenticated attacker can upload a .zip file containing a filename such as `../../file`, which will be extracted outside the user's home directory. If an attacker can write a file to anywhere on the file system, they can leverage that to gain remote access in several different ways.
