The record

OpenC3 COSMOS contains a design flaw in the `save_tool_config()` function that allows saving tool configuration files at arbitrary locations inside the shared `/plugins` directory tree by supplying crafted configuration filenames. Although the implementation sufficiently mitigates standard path traversal attacks, by canonicalizing filename to an absolute path, all plugins share this same root directory. That enables users to create arbitrary file structures and overwrite existing configuration files within the shared `/plugins` directory.
