Threats affecting pkg:maven/Apache Software Foundation/org.apache.sis:sis-metadata

Apache SIS versions 0.7 through 1.6.0 are affected by a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) where the software opens linked files from data files without properly restricting file paths. This could allow an attacker to specify local file paths outside the intended directories. The vulnerability affects specific geographic data formats including GML, WKT, and Landsat GeoTIFF bands. The risk of sensitive information leakage is low due to strict file format expectations and parsing stopping at the first error. Version 1.7 of Apache SIS fixes this issue by restricting file references to the same directory or a predetermined directory for datum shift grids.
