Apktool: Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Write
Résumé
Apktool: Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Write
Description d'origine
La description telle que publiée par la source (souvent en anglais).
Apktool is a tool for reverse engineering Android APK files. In versions 3.0.0 and 3.0.1, a path traversal vulnerability in brut/androlib/res/decoder/ResFileDecoder.java allows a maliciously crafted APK to write arbitrary files to the filesystem during standard decoding (apktool d). This is a security regression introduced in commit e10a045 (PR #4041, December 12, 2025), which removed the BrutIO.sanitizePath() call that previously prevented path traversal in resource file output paths. An attacker can embed ../ sequences in the resources.arsc Type String Pool to escape the output directory and write files to arbitrary locations, including ~/.ssh/config, ~/.bashrc, or Windows Startup folders, escalating to RCE. The fix in version 3.0.2 re-introduces BrutIO.sanitizePath() in ResFileDecoder.java before file write operations.
