CVE-2026-53655

A flaw was found in node-tar. This vulnerability arises because node-tar incorrectly applies PAX extended header size records to subsequent intermediary metadata headers, leading to a desynchronization of the tar stream cursor compared to other standard tar implementations. A remote attacker coul...

async-tar PAX extension-header desync enables tar entry/content smuggling

Summary async-tar v0.6.0 mis-applies a buffered PAX size extension to an intermediary extension header a GNU longname L, a GNU longlink K, or a PAX x/g header instead of to the next file entry. POSIX requires a PAX extended-header record set to describe the next file entry, never an intervening...
