High · 8.1 CVE-2026-19693 EUVD-2026-60194GHSA-7pqw-9j4j-h8q3

extract-zip arbitrary file write outside the destination directory via a symlink at the final path component

Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026 · Assigned by seal

Description

extract-zip through 2.0.1 containment-checks only the parent directory of each archive entry and never the entry's own final path component, so an archive containing two entries with identical names - a symlink whose target is outside the destination, followed by a regular file - writes through the planted symlink and yields an arbitrary file write outside the destination directory.
