In Apache Commons IO before 2.7, When invoking the method FileNameUtils.normalize with an improper input string, like "//../foo", or "\\..\foo", the result would be the same value, thus possibly providing access to files in the parent directory, but not further above (thus "limited" path traversal), if the calling code would use the result to construct a path value.

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

Neither the method in question (FileNameUtils.normalize) nor any methods, that invoke it, do actually access any files. There's only a string returned, from which a path can be constructed. In other words, a possible workaround would be not passing any unsafe input to FileNameUtils.normalize.
