A flaw was found in Fluentd, a data collector. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary file write and potentially remote code execution by sending untrusted tags containing path traversal characters. The issue arises from insufficient validation of the ${tag} placeholder in file configurations, such as the path parameter of the out_file plugin. Successful exploitation could lead to a full system compromise without authentication, depending on the Fluentd configuration and its process privileges.

Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Prior to 1.19.3, Fluentd allows dynamically constructing file paths using the ${tag} placeholder, and insufficient validation of ${tag} in file configurations such as the path parameter of the out_file plugin allows attackers sending untrusted tags containing path traversal characters to write or overwrite arbitrary files and potentially achieve remote code execution. This issue is fixed in version 1.19.3.
