CVE-2024-57728 is a path traversal vulnerability in SimpleHelp remote support and RMM software caused by improper handling of archive extraction paths during ZIP upload processing. In affected versions, an authenticated administrator can upload a crafted ZIP archive containing traversal sequences, allowing files to be written outside the intended extraction directory and placed at arbitrary locations on the underlying host filesystem. This zip slip condition enables overwriting or planting files in attacker-chosen paths and can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the SimpleHelp server in the security context of the SimpleHelp server user. The issue affects SimpleHelp 5.5 before 5.5.8, 5.4 before 5.4.10, and 5.3 before 5.3.9.
