  - Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination
    directory, and the modification of some file metadata. 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. 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-2025-4330)
