Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal via the unpack() function during the artifact extraction due to the lack of header.Name validation in the said function. An attacker can create or overwrite arbitrary files within system directories by supplying a crafted archive containing entries with traversal or absolute paths, which could lead to privilege escalation or persistent access within the compromised container.
