Joplin is an open source note-taking and to-do application that organises notes and lists into notebooks. Versions prior to 3.5.7 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the importer which allows overwriting arbitrary files on disk. The OneNote converter does not sanitize the names of embedded files before writing them to disk. As a result, it's possible for an attacker to create a malicious .one file that includes file names containing ../../, that are then interpreted as part of the target path when extracting attachments from the .one file. This issue has been patched in version 3.5.7.

@joplin/onenote-converter: Path traversal in OneNote importer allows overwriting arbitrary files
### Summary
A path traversal vulnerability in the OneNote importer allows overwriting arbitrary files on disk.
### Details
The OneNote converter does not sanitize the names of embedded files before writing them to disk. As a result, it's possible for an attacker to create a malicious `.one` file that includes file names containing `../../`, that are then interpreted as part of the target path when extracting attachments from the `.one` file.
One affected location is `embedded_file.rs`, which generates a file name from a string previously parsed from the `.one` file,
