PYSEC-2026-2890 Poetry has Path Traversal in tar extraction on Python 3.10.0 - 3.10.12 and 3.11.0 - 3.11.4

Summary The extractall function in src/poetry/utils/helpers.py:410-426 extracts sdist tarballs without path traversal protection on Python versions where tarfile.datafilter is unavailable. Considering only Python versions which are still supported by Poetry, these are 3.10.0 - 3.10.12 and 3.11.0 ...

PYSEC-2026-2912 PraisonAI Vulnerable to Decompression Bomb DoS via Recipe Bundle Extraction Without Size Limits

Summary The safeextractall function in PraisonAI's recipe registry validates archive members against path traversal attacks but performs no checks on individual member sizes, cumulative extracted size, or member count before calling tar.extractall. An attacker can publish a malicious recipe bundl...

PYSEC-2026-2900 PraisonAI recipe registry pull path traversal writes files outside the chosen output directory

Summary PraisonAI's recipe registry pull flow extracts attacker-controlled .praison tar archives with tar.extractall and does not validate archive member paths before extraction. A malicious publisher can upload a recipe bundle that contains ../ traversal entries and any user who later pulls that...

PYSEC-2026-2398 BentoML Vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Symlink Path Traversal in Tar Extraction

Arbitrary File Write via Symlink Path Traversal in Tar Extraction Summary The safeextracttarfile function validates that each tar member's path is within the destination directory, but for symlink members it only validates the symlink's own path, not the symlink's target. An attacker can create a...

CVE-2026-58198

ChatterBot is a machine learning, conversational dialog engine for creating chat bots. Prior to 1.2.14, UbuntuCorpusTrainer.extract uses a predictable home-rooted output directory /ubuntudata/ubuntudialogs with a check-then-create pattern followed by tar.extractallpath=self.datapath, allowing a...

CVE-2026-58198

ChatterBot (Python) vulnerability CVE-2026-58198: UbuntuCorpusTrainer.extract() uses a predictable home path (~/.ubuntu_data/ubuntu_dialogs) with a check-then-create pattern, then tar.extractall(path=self.data_path). An attacker who pre-places a symlink at that path can cause archived contents to...

CVE-2026-58198 ChatterBot: Symlink-Following Arbitrary Write via UbuntuCorpusTrainer

CVE-2026-59873

node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.19, node-tar does not enforce hard upper bounds on total decompressed data, entry counts, or decompression ratio in extraction and parsing paths such as src/extract.ts, allowing a small crafted gzip bomb to exhaust disk spac...

PYSEC-2026-1795 pip's fallback tar extraction doesn't check symbolic links point to extraction directory

When extracting a tar archive pip may not check symbolic links point into the extraction directory if the tarfile module doesn't implement PEP 706. Note that upgrading pip to a "fixed" version for this vulnerability doesn't fix all known vulnerabilities that are remediated by using a Python versi...

Important: python3.12

Issue Overview: The "tarfile" module would still apply normalization of AREGTYPE \x00 blocks to DIRTYPE, even while processing a multi-block member such as GNUTYPELONGNAME or GNUTYPELONGLINK. This could result in a crafted tar archive being misinterpreted by the tarfile module compared to other...

Symlink Attack

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack through improper validation of hardlink targets during tar extraction. An attacker can access or modify files outside the intended extraction directory by crafting a malicious tarball with a hardlink entry whose target is...

GHSA-FXHP-MV3V-67QP `oras-go` tar extraction: Hardlink entry with relative Linkname escapes extract dir via process CWD resolution

Root cause The tar-extraction helper ensureLinkPath at content/file/utils.go:262-275 validates that a hardlink's target resolves inside the extract base, but then returns the original unresolved target string back to the caller: go func ensureLinkPathbaseAbs, baseRel, link, target string string,...

PYSEC-2026-425 MLFlow path traversal vulnerability

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the extractarchivetodir function within the mlflow/pyfunc/dbconnectartifactcache.py file of the mlflow/mlflow repository. This vulnerability, present in versions before v3.7.0, arises due to the lack of validation of tar member paths during extraction. An...

perl-archive-tar: perl-archive-tar: Path traversal via crafted symlinks allows arbitrary file access

A flaw was found in perl-Archive-Tar. Versions before 3.08 for Perl are vulnerable to a path traversal issue. An attacker can craft a malicious tar archive containing symlinks with targets outside the intended extraction directory. This vulnerability allows the attacker to read or write to...

Incus has arbitrary file read+write on host via templates/ symlink in malicious image

Summary A specially crafted image or instance backup can be used to read or create/write arbitrary files on the host; possibly leading to arbitrary command execution. Details For container images, internal/server/storage/utils.go calls archive.UnpackimageFile, destPath, .... The tar extraction pa...
