NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sqlpad package and not the sqlpad package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

node-tar,a Tar for Node.js, contains a vulnerability in versions prior to 7.5.7 where the security check for hardlink entries uses different path resolution semantics than the actual hardlink creation logic. This mismatch allows an attacker to craft a malicious TAR archive that bypasses path traversal protections and creates hardlinks to arbitrary files outside the extraction directory. Version 7.5.7 contains a fix for the issue.
