Description
Akamai CLI before 2.0.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows malicious packages to write files outside the install directory via unvalidated commands[].name values in cli.json. Attackers who convince victims to install or update a package can use '..' segments to overwrite executables on the user's PATH, persisting after uninstall.
