Summary

CVE-2023-32317 affects the MOSS cheat checker functionality in Autolab, a course management service for auto-graded programming assignments. An authenticated attacker with instructor permissions can upload a crafted Tar file to the "Base File Tar" or "Additional file archive" inputs, with entries containing paths such as `../../../../tmp/tarslipped2.sh` that point outside their target directories. When the MOSS cheat checker runs, the archive contents are extracted to those attacker-chosen locations, allowing arbitrary file write within the scope of the running process.

Mitigation

Fixed in version 2.11.0. Users are advised to upgrade.
