Description
Assimp through 6.0.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the glTF and glTF2 importers that allows attackers to read local files via crafted buffers[].uri values. Attackers can supply glTF models with '..' segments or absolute paths in buffer URIs to load files like /etc/passwd into imported mesh vertex data.
