Summary

CVE-2024-5187 affects the `download_model_with_test_data` function in the onnx/onnx framework, version 1.16.0. The function extracts tar files without checking the paths inside them, so a malicious tar file can use path traversal to overwrite arbitrary files, such as `/home/kali/.ssh/authorized_keys` via an absolute path. An attacker could thereby overwrite any file on the system, potentially leading to remote code execution or deletion of system, personal, or application files.
