 - GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. Versions prior to 0.1.5 are vulnerable to
 Relative Path Traversal when scanning a specially-crafted local PyPI package. Running GuardDog against a
 specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog
