      "value": "Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.0.0 until 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3, cluster.unmerge_info() in framework/wazuh/core/cluster/cluster.py constructs paths from peer-controlled merge_type and name values in a merged synchronization archive. process_files_from_worker() in framework/wazuh/core/cluster/master.py does not adequately confine the resulting path to the declared cluster item directory. A cluster peer holding the shared Fernet key can use traversal in files_metadata.json or a merged-file header to write files such as /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf. Replacing ossec.conf can configure root-executed commands and lead to code execution when Wazuh services reload. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3."

      "value": "Wazuh es una plataforma de código abierto y gratuita utilizada para la prevención, detección y respuesta a amenazas. Desde la versión 4.0.0 hasta la 4.14.6 y la 5.0.0-beta3, cluster.unmerge_info() en framework/wazuh/core/cluster/cluster.py construye rutas a partir de valores de merge_type y name controlados por pares en un archivo de sincronización fusionado. process_files_from_worker() en framework/wazuh/core/cluster/master.py no confina adecuadamente la ruta resultante al directorio declarado del elemento del clúster. Un par del clúster que posee la clave Fernet compartida puede usar el recorrido en files_metadata.json o un encabezado de archivo fusionado para escribir archivos como /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf. Reemplazar ossec.conf puede configurar comandos ejecutados como root y conducir a la ejecución de código cuando los servicios de Wazuh se recargan. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 4.14.6 y 5.0.0-beta3."
