AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, users should avoid extracting untrusted archives with vulnerable versions of luigi or implement manual path validation to prevent directory traversal during archive extraction.

Description

Versions of the package luigi before 3.6.0 are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Archive Extraction (Zip Slip) due to improper destination file path validation in the _extract_packages_archive function.
