Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination directory, and the modification of some file metadata. You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the filter= parameter with a value of "data" or "tar". See the tarfile extraction filters documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter for more information. Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from "no filtering" to `"data", so if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected. Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source distributions with suspicious links.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Gentoo Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1044 advisory.

    Allows modifying some file metadata (e.g. last modified) with filter=data or file permissions (chmod)     with filter=tar of files outside the extraction directory.You are affected by this vulnerability if     using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract()     using the filter= parameter with a value of data or tar. See the tarfile  extraction filters     documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter  for more     information. Only Python versions 3.12 or later are affected by these vulnerabilities, earlier versions     don't include the extraction filter feature.

    Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from no filtering to `data, so     if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected.

    Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions     which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build     process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source     distributions with suspicious links. (CVE-2024-12718)

    When using a TarFile.errorlevel = 0 and extracting with a filter the documented behavior is that any     filtered members would be skipped and not extracted. However the actual behavior of TarFile.errorlevel = 0     in affected versions is that the member would still be extracted and not skipped. (CVE-2025-4435)

    There is an issue in CPython when using `bytes.decode(unicode_escape, error=ignore|replace)`. If you     are not using the unicode_escape encoding or an error handler your usage is not affected. To work-around     this issue you may stop using the error= handler and instead wrap the bytes.decode() call in a try-except     catching the DecodeError. (CVE-2025-4516)

    Allows arbitrary filesystem writes outside the extraction directory during extraction with filter=data.

    You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using     TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the filter= parameter with a value of data or tar.
