BIT-PYTHON-2026-11940 tarfile extraction filter bypass allows escaping the destination directory

tarfile.extractall with the 'data' or 'tar' filter could be bypassed by a crafted archive where a hardlink references a symlink stored at a deeper name than the hardlink itself. The extraction fallback validated the symlink at it's archived location but recreated it at the hardlink's shallower...

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...

PYSEC-2026-2909 PraisonAI's symlink-extraction bypass of `_safe_extractall` writes outside `dest_dir`

Summary The safeextractall helper that all recipe pull, recipe publish, and recipe unpack flows route through validates each archive member's name for absolute paths, .. segments, and resolved-path escape — but does not validate member.linkname, does not reject symlink/hardlink members, and calls...

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...
