Versions prior to 0.1.5 are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal when scanning a specially-crafted local PyPI package. Running GuardDog against a specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog is executed due to a path traversal vulnerability when extracting the .tar.gz file of the package being scanned, which exists by design in the tarfile.TarFile.extractall function. This issue is patched in version 0.1.5.","published":"2022-12-16T23:41:15.078Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:37.502714044Z","cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"guarddog","fixedVersion":"0.1.5"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/pull/89/commits/a56aff58264cb6b7855d71b00dc10c39a5dbd306","label":"DataDog/guarddog#89"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/pull/89/commits/a56aff58264cb6b7855d71b00dc10c39a5dbd306"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/releases/tag/v0.1.5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/23xxx/CVE-2022-23531.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/security/advisories/GHSA-rp2v-v467-q9vq"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23531"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/pull/89"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/commit/98af5c8c1e9c15fa888c900252e76116b0ec25d1"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/tree/main/vulns/guarddog/PYSEC-2022-42994.yaml"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:37.502714044Z"}}
