Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Genie (com.netflix.genie:genie-web, Maven) versions before 4.3.18 are vulnerable to path traversal through file uploads. An attacker who can submit uploads to the API can choose a filename that writes files to arbitrary locations the Java process can access, which may lead to remote code execution, but only for deployments that store attachments on the local filesystem. Upgrade genie-web to version 4.3.18.
