CVE-2020-5230: Injection Vulnerability

January 30, 2020 (updated February 10, 2020)

Opencast allows near-arbitrary identifiers for media packages and elements to be used. This can be problematic for operation and security since such identifiers are sometimes used for file system operations which may lead to an attacker being able to escape working directories and write files to other locations. In addition, Opencast’s Id.toString() vs Id.compact() behavior, the latter trying to mitigate some of the file system problems, can cause errors due to identifier mismatch since an identifier may unintentionally change.
