GHSA-xphh-5v4r-r3rx: PsiTransfer has Zip Slip Path Traversal via TAR Archive Download

December 30, 2025

A Zip Slip vulnerability in PsiTransfer allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload files with path traversal sequences in the filename (e.g. ../../../.ssh/authorized_keys). When a victim downloads the bucket as a .tar.gz archive and extracts it, malicious files are written outside the intended directory, potentially leading to RCE.
