CVE-2019-0191
Apache Karaf kar deployer reads .kar archives and extracts the paths from the "repository/" and "resources/" entries in the zip file. It then writes out the content of these paths to the Karaf repo and resources directories. However, it doesn't do any validation on the paths in the zip file. This means that a malicious user could craft a .kar file with ".." directory names and break out of the directories to write arbitrary content to the filesystem. This is the "Zip-slip" vulnerability - https://snyk.io/research/zip-slip-vulnerability. This vulnerability is low if the Karaf process user has limited permission on the filesystem. Any Apache Karaf releases prior 4.2.3 is impacted.

Después, escribe el contenido de esas rutas en los directorios del repositorio y los recursos de Karaf. Sin embargo, no realiza ningún tipo de validación en las rutas del archivo zip. Esto significa que un usuario malicioso podría manipular un archivo .kar con nombres de directorio \"..\" y escapar de los directorios para escribir contenido arbitrario en el sistema de archivos. Esta es la vulnerabilidad \"Zip-slip\": https://snyk.io/research/zip-slip-vulnerability. Esta vulnerabilidad se clasifica como baja si el usuario del proceso Karaf tiene permisos limitados en el sistema de archivos. Todas las versiones de Apache Karaf anteriores a la 4.2.3 se han visto afectadas"
