Issue Overview: node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. When using default options in versions 7.5.7 and below, an attacker-controlled archive can create a hardlink inside the extraction directory that points to a file outside the extraction root, enabling arbitrary file read and write as th...

CVE-2026-31802

node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. Prior to version 7.5.11, tar npm can be tricked into creating a symlink that points outside the extraction directory by using a drive-relative symlink target such as C:../../../target.txt, which enables file overwrite outside cwd during normal tar.x...

node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. Prior to version 7.5.10, tar can be tricked into creating a hardlink that points outside the extraction directory by using a drive-relative link target such as C:../target.txt, which enables file overwrite outside cwd during normal tar.x extraction. Th...

nodejs-tar: Insufficient symlink protection due to directory cache poisoning using symbolic links allowing arbitrary file creation and overwrite

A flaw was found in the npm package "tar" aka node-tar. Extracting tar files that contain both a directory and a symlink with the same name, where the symlink and directory names in the archive entry used backslashes as a path separator, made it possible to bypass node-tar symlink checks on...

nodejs-tar: Insufficient symlink protection due to directory cache poisoning using symbolic links allowing arbitrary file creation and overwrite

A flaw was found in the npm package "tar" aka node-tar. Extracting tar files that contain two directories and a symlink with names containing Unicode values that normalize to the same value on Windows systems made it possible to bypass node-tar symlink checks on directories. This allows an...
