Summary

The Apache Karaf Config service is vulnerable to a directory traversal flaw that permits an attacker to traverse directories and overwrite existing files. This issue arises from the 'install' method available via the service or MBean, potentially leading to significant security risks if exploited. The impact is mitigated if the Karaf process user has restricted filesystem permissions. Users of Apache Karaf versions prior to 4.2.5 are strongly advised to upgrade to a secure version to eliminate this vulnerability.
