Summary : Plexus Archiver Component
Description :
The Plexus project seeks to create end-to-end developer tools for
writing applications. At the core is the container, which can be
embedded or for a full scale application server. There are many
reusable components for hibernate, form processing, jndi, i18n,
velocity, etc. Plexus also includes an application server which
is like a J2EE application server, without all the baggage.

Update Information:
Security fix: arbitrary file write vulnerability / arbitrary code execution
using a specially crafted zip file (CVE-2018-1002200) A path traversal
vulnerability has been discovered in plexus-archiver when extracting a carefully
crafted zip file which holds path traversal file names. A remote attacker could
use this vulnerability to write files outside the target directory and overwrite
existing files with malicious code or vulnerable configurations. Red Hat would
like to thank Danny Grander (Snyk) for reporting this issue. External
