  "details" : [ "node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. Prior to version 7.5.11, tar (npm) can be tricked into creating a symlink that points outside the extraction directory by using a drive-relative symlink target such as C:../../../target.txt, which enables file overwrite outside cwd during normal tar.x() extraction. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.11.", "A flaw was found in tar. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious tar archive containing a drive-relative symlink. This symlink, such as C:../../../target.txt, can trick the tar utility into writing files outside the intended extraction directory during normal archive extraction, leading to unauthorized file overwrite." ],
  "statement" : "This is a MODERATE impact vulnerability. The tar utility is susceptible to unauthorized file overwrites when processing specially crafted archives containing drive-relative symlinks. As such, it primarily affects integrity (since it can overwrite files and file contents), with no clear indication that availability or confidentiality may be affected.",
