The `postman_download` module uses the workspace `name` field from the Postman API to construct the local directory path without sanitization. If a malicious workspace has a name containing path traversal characters, pathlib resolves the path outside the intended output directory, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary files to the user's system.
Update bbot to 2.8.6 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scanBBOT: Arbitrary File Write in postman_download Module affects bbot (pip). Severity is medium. The `postman_download` module uses the workspace `name` field from the Postman API to construct the local directory path without sanitization. If a malicious workspace has a name containing path traversal characters, pathlib resolves the path outside the intended output directory, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary files to the user's system.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in pip. A medium vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.

|---|---|---|
| bbotpip | >=2.1.0,<=2.8.5 | 2.8.6 |
Fixed versions are reported by the source feed; confirm compatibility before updating.
