AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, users should avoid using untrusted input in MDC discriminator values or configure logging to prevent path traversal. Review and sanitize any MDC values used in file paths to mitigate exploitation.

Description

A path-traversal vulnerability exists in the QOS.CH Sarl Logback-classic Java module (logback-classic) affecting versions from 0.9.14 through 1.6.2. The flaw allows an attacker who can influence an MDC-based discriminator value, such as via an HTTP header, to create and append log files outside the intended directory by exploiting unsanitized input in a nested FileAppender path.
