Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack via the upload finalization process. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files outside the intended directory by exploiting a race condition involving symbolic links and time-of-check to time-of-use discrepancies. This is only exploitable if uploads are enabled and the attacker has the ability to create or replace filesystem entries in the upload destination directory, such as in a shared writable directory or volume.
