CVE-2022-23457

ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web
application security control library. Prior to version 2.3.0.0, the default
implementation of Validator.getValidDirectoryPath(String, String, File, boolean) may incorrectly treat the tested input string as a child of the
specified parent directory. This potentially could allow control-flow
bypass checks to be defeated if an attack can specify the entire string
representing the ‘input’ path. This vulnerability is patched in release
2.3.0.0 of ESAPI. As a workaround, it is possible to write one’s own
implementation of the Validator interface. However, maintainers do not
recommend this.
