CVE-2025-4435

CVE-2025-4435 affects CPython tarfile: when TarFile.errorlevel=0 and a filter is used, the filter-verified members could be extracted instead of skipped. Root cause described as the extraction filter bypassing for errorlevel=0 in affected versions. Impact per CVSS: HIGH (I) with no availability o...

Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference via the tarfile process when errorlevel is set to 0 and a filter is applied. An attacker can cause unauthorized files to be extracted by convincing a privileged user or process to extract a...
