An archive entry name is used as an output path without checking that it stays inside the target directory (zip slip).

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: ERROR

How to fix it

Normalize the destination (dest.resolve(entry.getName()).normalize()) and refuse the entry unless the result still starts with the destination directory.
