"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1045 advisory.
Allows modifying some file metadata (e.g. last modified) with filter=data or file permissions (chmod)
with filter=tar of files outside the extraction directory.You are affected by this vulnerability if
using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract()
using the filter= parameter with a value of data or tar. See the tarfile extraction filters
documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter for more
information. Only Python versions 3.12 or later are affected by these vulnerabilities, earlier versions
don't include the extraction filter feature.
Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from no filtering to `data, so
if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected.
Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions
which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build
process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source
distributions with suspicious links. (CVE-2024-12718)
Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination
directory, and the modification of some file metadata.

When using a TarFile.errorlevel = 0 and extracting with a filter the documented behavior is that any
filtered members would be skipped and not extracted. However the actual behavior of TarFile.errorlevel = 0
in affected versions is that the member would still be extracted and not skipped. (CVE-2025-4435)
Allows arbitrary filesystem writes outside the extraction directory during extraction with filter=data.
