What is CVE-2024-5581?

The Allegra software has a directory traversal vulnerability in its unzipFile method, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the system. This issue arises from insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths before they are used in file operations. Consequently, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to run code with the permissions of the LOCAL SERVICE account. Authentication is necessary for exploitation, emphasizing the need for users to secure their installation against potential threats.
