 - There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython "zipfile" module affecting "zipfile.Path".
 Note that the more common API "zipfile.ZipFile" class is unaffected. When iterating over names of entries
 in a zip archive (for example, methods of "zipfile.Path" like "namelist()", "iterdir()", etc) the process
