Ghidra before 12.0.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the extension installer that fails to validate ZIP entry names during extraction. Attackers can craft malicious extensions with traversal sequences like ../ in filenames to write arbitrary files outside the intended directory, enabling code execution.
Casky was already ahead
This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 331matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.
Ghidra versions before 12.0.2 contain a critical path traversal vulnerability in the extension installer mechanism. When processing ZIP-based extensions, the installer fails to properly validate ZIP entry names, allowing attackers to embed path traversal sequences (such as ../) in filenames. This flaw enables arbitrary file writes outside the intended extension directory, potentially leading to remote code execution on systems running vulnerable Ghidra installations. Security researchers, reverse engineers, and threat analysts who rely on Ghidra for malware analysis and binary inspection are directly affected, as are organizations deploying Ghidra in security operations centers.
Casky's 331 mapped skills leverage Claude AI with extended reasoning to detect the behavioral and technical indicators of this attack pattern across MITRE ATT&CK's Initial Access (TA0001) and Discovery (TA0007) phases. Practitioners using the platform would observe findings highlighting suspicious ZIP extraction processes that lack path normalization, detection of archive entries containing traversal metacharacters (../ or ..\ patterns), and lateral file system writes to sensitive directories outside sandboxed extension folders. The skills would flag CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) violations and correlate them with code execution risks, enabling security teams to identify malicious extension packages before installation and prioritize patching of affected Ghidra instances.
