Am I affected?

With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.

Description

The package-decompression feature in HL7 (Health Level 7) FHIR Core Libraries before 5.6.106 allows attackers to copy arbitrary files to certain directories via directory traversal, if an allowed directory name is a substring of the directory name chosen by the attacker. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-24057.

Hear about the next vulnerability in your software

Surveillance reads the versions in your stack — a domain, a lockfile or a list — checks each CVE against the ranges its sources publish, and alerts you when one you run is exploited or enters CISA KEV. A version it cannot read stays « version not verified ».
