HIGH 8.0WATCHLISTUPGRADEDOWNGRADEMITIGATE

CVE-2024-1485 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.0) affecting registry-support, openshift, openshift developer tools and services. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

A flaw was found in the decompression function of registry-support. This issue can be triggered if an unauthenticated remote attacker tricks a user into parsing a devfile which uses the `parent` or `plugin` keywords. This could download a malicious archive and cause the cleanup process to overwrite or delete files outside of the archive, which should not be allowed.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
