    Summary: Improper limitation of path name in github.com/containernetworking/cni

    Details: The FindInPath function is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks, potentially permitting attackers to execute arbitrary binaries. This function does not sanitize its plugin parameter, so parameter names containing "../" or other such elements may reference arbitrary locations on the filesystem.
