    -> org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.OPCPackage (Extension)
     -> ❌ org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.ZipPackage (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache POI. The issue affects the parsing of OOXML format files like xlsx,
docx and pptx. These file formats are basically zip files and it is possible for malicious users to add zip entries
with duplicate names (including the path) in the zip. In this case, products reading the affected file could read
different data because 1 of the zip entries with the duplicate name is selected over another but different products may
choose a different zip entry.
This issue affects Apache POI poi-ooxml before 5.4.0. poi-ooxml 5.4.0 has a check that throws an exception if zip
entries with duplicate file names are found in the input file.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version poi-ooxml 5.4.0, which fixes the issue.
