AI-suggested
Since the vulnerability requires admin privileges, restrict admin access to trusted users only. Monitor vendor advisories for an official fix or update. Implementing path validation and filtering when extracting tar archives is recommended once a fix is available.
Description
Fledge's backup-restore upload handler, upload_backup (python/fledge/services/core/api/backup_restore.py), calls tarfile.extractall(temp_path) on an admin-uploaded tar archive with no filter argument and no per-member path validation. Requires the admin role (@has_permission("admin")).
