Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Trestle (compliance-trestle) versions before 3.12.4 and from 4.0.0 before 4.1.0 are vulnerable to arbitrary file write through path traversal in the author catalog-generate, profile-generate and ssp-generate commands. An attacker who can influence the --output argument, for example through a CI pipeline that derives it from repository data, can write generated files outside the trestle workspace as the process owner, and with --force-overwrite can recursively delete an attacker-chosen directory. Upgrade to version 3.12.4 or 4.1.0.
