CVE:CVE-2026-29509 vulnerable 2026-07-29 00:37:44.062548 Patool < 4.0.5 Path Traversal via safe_extract() Function
MEDIUM (5.4)
Patool before 4.0.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the safe_extract() function in patoolib/programs/py_tarfile.py when running on Python before 3.12, where the is_within_directory() helper uses os.path.commonprefix() for character-level string comparison instead of path-level comparison, allowing a crafted archive member path to bypass the containment check. Attackers can supply a malicious archive with specially crafted member paths to write arbitrary files.
