This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious zip file containing symbolic links that point to locations outside the intended extraction directory. When a user extracts this malicious archive, extract-zip fails to validate the symlink targets, leading to the creation of files in arbitrary locations on the system. This could enable an attacker to read or write to sensitive files, potentially leading to information disclosure or system compromise." ],

When processing a malicious ZIP file containing a symlink with a relative path (e.g., '../../../../etc/passwd'), extract-zip extracts the symlink without validation, allowing it to point outside the intended extraction directory. Depending on how extract-zip is used, an attacker could read arbitrary files (information disclosure) or write to arbitrary locations (arbitrary file write) on the system.
