CVE-2026-53655

node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.16, tar node-tar applies a PAX extended header's size= record and other PAX overrides to the next header entry of any type, including intermediary metadata headers such as a GNU long-name L or long-link K entry. Per POSIX pax, a PAX extend...

CVE-2026-53655

node-tar (node-tar) before version 7.5.16 is vulnerable: it applies a PAX extended header size override to the next header entry, including intermediary L/K/x headers, which desynchronizes the stream cursor from other tar implementations. This yields a tar-parser interpretation differential (CWE-...
