Nomad Archives Vulnerability: Write Access Outside Allocation Directory

CVE-2024-7625

What is CVE-2024-7625?

In HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise versions from 0.6.1 up to 1.6.13, 1.7.10, and 1.8.2, an issue exists within the archive unpacking process that permits unauthorized writes to locations outside of allocated directories during the migration of those directories. This occurs when multiple archive headers point to the same target file, potentially leading to significant security risks. Access to the Nomad client agent at the source allocation is required to exploit this vulnerability, which emphasizes the need for secure handling of client agent access.
