Symlink Poisoning

node-tar is vulnerable to Symlink Poisoning. The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of hardlink and symlink linkpath values during archive extraction, where malicious tar entries can bypass the extraction root restriction and overwrite arbitrary files or create dangerous symlinks...

node-tar is Vulnerable to Arbitrary File Overwrite and Symlink Poisoning via Insufficient Path Sanitization

Summary The node-tar library = 7.5.2 fails to sanitize the linkpath of Link hardlink and SymbolicLink entries when preservePaths is false the default secure behavior. This allows malicious archives to bypass the extraction root restriction, leading to Arbitrary File Overwrite via hardlinks and...
