CVE-2018-18586 describes a Directory Traversal vulnerability in the chmextract sample program, distributed with libmspack before version 0.8alpha, due to a lack of protection against absolute/relative pathnames in CHM files. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) has a network attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to information disclosure (C:L). There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion, and the vendor disputes it as a libmspack vulnerability, considering chmextract.c an example.
