CVE-2013-4191: Plone is vulnerable to Information Exposure when generating zip archives

May 17, 2022 (updated October 15, 2024)

zip.py in Plone 2.1 through 4.1, 4.2.x through 4.2.5, and 4.3.x through 4.3.1 does not properly enforce access restrictions when including content in a zip archive, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading a generated archive.
