      "value": "Whoogle Search is a self-hosted metasearch engine. Versions 0.8.3 and prior have a limited file write vulnerability when the configuration options in Whoogle are enabled. The `config` function in `app/routes.py` does not validate the user-controlled `name` variable on line 447 and `config_data` variable on line 437. The `name` variable is insecurely concatenated in `os.path.join`, leading to path manipulation. The POST data from the `config_data` variable is saved with `pickle.dump` which leads to a limited file write. However, the data that is saved is earlier transformed into a dictionary and the `url` key value pair is added before the file is saved on the system. All in all, the issue allows us to save and overwrite files on the system that the application has permissions to, with a dictionary containing arbitrary data and the `url` key value, which is a limited file write. Version 0.8.4 contains a patch for this issue."

Las versiones 0.8.3 y anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad de escritura de archivos limitada cuando las opciones de configuración en Whoogle están habilitadas. La función `config` en `app/routes.py` no valida la variable `name` controlada por el usuario en la línea 447 y la variable `config_data` en la línea 437. La variable `name` está concatenada de forma insegura en `os.path. join`, lo que lleva a la manipulación de la ruta. Los datos POST de la variable `config_data` se guardan con `pickle.dump`, lo que genera una escritura de archivo limitada. Sin embargo, los datos que se guardan se transforman previamente en un diccionario y el par clave-valor \"url\" se agrega antes de que el archivo se guarde en el sistema. Con todo, el problema nos permite guardar y sobrescribir archivos en el sistema para el que la aplicación tiene permisos, con un diccionario que contiene datos arbitrarios y el valor clave \"url\", que es una escritura de archivo limitada. La versión 0.8.4 contiene un parche para este problema."
