CVE-2022-41722 Description

A path traversal vulnerability exists in filepath.Clean on Windows. On Windows, the filepath.Clean function could transform an invalid path such as "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:\b".

After fix, the filepath.Clean function transforms this path into the relative (but still invalid) path ".\c:\b".
