CVE-2026-62239

FlashAttention (up to 2.8.3.post1) contains a symlink attack in hopper/setup.py: download_and_copy() extracts NVIDIA toolchain archives without validating symlinks or filtering tar members. A local attacker can plant a predictable symlink in the cache to redirect extracted binaries to a chosen lo...

CVE-2026-62239 FlashAttention Symlink Attack via tarfile.extractall in hopper/setup.py

FlashAttention through 2.8.3.post1, fixed in commit 0816ef1, contains a symlink attack vulnerability in the downloadandcopy function within hopper/setup.py that extracts NVIDIA toolchain archives without validating symlinks or filtering tar members. A local attacker can pre-plant a symlink in the...

PYSEC-2026-2398 BentoML Vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Symlink Path Traversal in Tar Extraction

Arbitrary File Write via Symlink Path Traversal in Tar Extraction Summary The safeextracttarfile function validates that each tar member's path is within the destination directory, but for symlink members it only validates the symlink's own path, not the symlink's target. An attacker can create a...

ROS-20260713-73-0026

The vulnerability of the tarfile module in the Python programming language is related to insufficient validation of input data. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to compromise the integrity of the protected information...

cpython: python: Extraction filter bypass for linking outside extraction directory

A flaw was found in CPython's tarfile module. This vulnerability allows bypassing of extraction filters, enabling symlink traversal outside the intended extraction directory and potential modification of file metadata via malicious tar archives using TarFile.extractall or TarFile.extract with the...
