AI-suggested

Upgrade Coturn to version 4.13.0 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

Coturn versions prior to 4.13.0 have a vulnerability in the 'psd print sessions dump' CLI command that allows an authenticated admin with CLI access to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the coturn process. This occurs because the filename argument is passed directly to fopen without path validation, enabling file truncation and overwrite with session dump data. The issue is fixed in version 4.13.0.
