ing CVE-2007-4559
Hi, we are security researchers from the Advanced Research Center at Trellix. We have began a campaign to a widespread bug named CVE-2007-4559. CVE-2007-4559 is a 15 year old bug in the Python tarfile package. By using extract() or extractall() on a tarfile object without sanitizing input, a maliciously crafted .tar file could perform a directory path traversal attack. We found at least one unsantized extractall() in your codebase and are providing a for you via pull request. The essentially checks to see if all tarfile members will be extracted safely and throws an exception otherwise. We encourage you to use this or your own solution to secure against CVE-2007-4559. Further technical information about the vulnerability can be found in this blog.
If you have further questions you may contact us through this projects lead researcher Kasimir Schulz.
