CVE-2026-59875

A flaw was found in node-tar, a library for manipulating tar archives in Node.js. A remote attacker could craft a malicious archive containing null characters NUL bytes in its metadata. When this archive is processed, the unstripped null characters can cause the application to terminate...

DEBIAN-CVE-2026-59871

node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.18, node-tar coerces all-digit PAX path and linkpath values in src/pax.ts to JavaScript numbers, causing downstream path handling such as normalizeWindowsPathentry.path.split'/' to throw an uncaught TypeError. This issue is...

GHSA-VMF3-W455-68VH node-tar applies PAX size override to intermediary GNU long-name/long-link headers, causing tar parser interpretation differential (file smuggling)

Summary tar node-tar applies a PAX extended header's size= record and other PAX overrides to the next header entry of any type, including intermediary metadata headers such as a GNU long-name L or long-link K entry. Per POSIX pax, a PAX extended header x describes the next file entry, not the...

node-tar: tar: node-tar: Arbitrary file overwrite and symlink poisoning via unsanitized linkpaths in archives

A flaw was found in the node-tar library. This vulnerability allows an attacker to craft malicious archives that, when extracted, can bypass intended security restrictions. This leads to arbitrary file overwrite and symlink poisoning, potentially allowing unauthorized modification of files on the...
