Appium: Security Vulnerabilities
Appium is a cross-platform automation framework for all kinds of apps, built on top of the W3C WebDriver protocol. Prior to 10.7.0, Appium's base-driver unconditionally mounts the /test/guinea-pig, /test/guinea-pig-scrollable, and /test/guinea-pig-app-banner routes, and compileLodashTemplate reflects the throwError query parameter, comments POST field, and User-Agent request header into HTML without escaping, allowing reflected cross-site scripting and arbitrary JavaScript execution on the server origin. This issue is fixed in version 10.7.0.

Appium is an automation framework that provides WebDriver-based automation possibilities for a wide range platforms. Prior to 7.0.6, @appium/support contains a ZIP extraction implementation (extractAllTo() via ZipExtractor.extract()) with a path traversal (Zip Slip) check that is non-functional. The check at line 88 of packages/support/lib/zip.js creates an Error object but never throws it, allowing malicious ZIP entries with ../ path components to write files outside the intended destination directory. This affects all JS-based extractions (the default code path), not only those using the fileNamesEncoding option. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.6.

appium-chromedriver is a Node.js wrapper around Chromedriver. Versions below 2.9.4 download binary resources over HTTP, which leaves the module vulnerable to MITM attacks. It may be possible to cause remote code execution (RCE) by swapping out the requested binary with an attacker controlled binary if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.
