AI-suggested

Users should avoid extracting untrusted archives with `ant-releases` until a fix is available. Monitor the crate's repository or advisory channels for updates addressing this path traversal issue. Implementing input validation or sanitization on archive entry paths before extraction is recommended once a fix is released.

Description

`ant-releases` crate versions from 0.0.0-0 onwards contain a path traversal vulnerability in the archive extraction function. The vulnerability allows crafted ZIP archives with entries containing relative paths (e.g., '../') to write files outside the intended destination directory, potentially overwriting arbitrary files on the host system.
