Description

Joplin before versions 3.6.15 and 3.7.2 contains an improper input validation vulnerability where synchronized resource metadata fields can include directory traversal characters. This allows an attacker with write access to a sync target or shared notebook to write files outside the intended resource directory without user interaction. The issue is fixed in versions 3.6.15 and 3.7.2.
