NVD Description

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

node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.18, node-tar coerces all-digit PAX path and linkpath values in src/pax.ts to JavaScript numbers, causing downstream path handling such as normalizeWindowsPath(entry.path).split('/') to throw an uncaught TypeError. This issue is fixed in version 7.5.18.
