Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack when an administrator/superuser/process with elevated privileges copies to the local backend from a malicious symlink using the --links or --metadata options. An attacker can cause the modification of ownership and permissions on the target files of symlinks they own rather than just the symlinks themselves, enabling privilege elevation.
