Summary
Several Pilz software products do not properly check pathnames contained in archives. An attacker can utilise this vulnerability to write arbitrary files, potentially leading to code execution.
Impact
The affected software products are using ZIP archives to save and load project backups and libraries. When loading a ZIP archive, the contained pathnames are not checked properly for relative path components. If a user loads a manipulated ZIP archive the vulnerability can be used to place potentially malicious files outside of the application's working directory. Depending on the user's privileges this can lead to code execution.
