The project maintainer confirms this issue: \"I accept the existence of the Path Traversal vulnerability. However, as stated in the Github link, it reached EOL and as a result no actions should be expected.\" The GitHub repository mentions, that \"[u]sers and contributors should migrate to binwalk v3.\" This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.",
