  - tarfile.data_filter could be bypassed using crafted link entries, including symlinks with empty or
    directory-like names, to redirect later archive members outside the intended extraction directory. This
    allowed a malicious tar archive to cause tarfile.extractall() to write files outside the destination
    directory, subject to the permissions of the extracting process. (CVE-2026-7774)
