CVE:CVE-2026-50558 vulnerable 2026-09-16 04:34:03.803611 Penelope unsafe tar extraction allows arbitrary local file write via crafted session archive
MEDIUM (5.9)
Penelope Shell Handler is a post-exploitation shell handler for authorized security testing. Prior to 0.20.0, the Unix download() implementation in penelope.py used tar.extractall(local_download_folder) on tar archives returned by remote sessions without validating member paths, allowing a malicious or compromised session to write files outside the intended download directory and potentially overwrite ~/.penelope/peneloperc. This issue is fixed in version 0.20.0.
