    Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding

    tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding in Path Reservations via Unicode Sharp-S (ß) Collisions on macOS APFS. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files by exploiting Unicode normalization collisions in filenames within a malicious tar archive on case-insensitive or normalization-insensitive filesystems.

    Note:

    This is only exploitable if the system is running on a filesystem such as macOS APFS or HFS+ that ignores Unicode normalization.

    How to fix Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding?

    Upgrade tar to version 7.5.4 or higher.

    <7.5.4
