Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack via the ZipTransformer process. An attacker can overwrite or plant files in arbitrary directories by pre-creating a symbolic link at /tmp/ziptransformer before the application starts, causing extracted archive contents and output files to be written to unintended locations under the application's user privileges.
