Upgrade to version 1.0.1 or later, which contains the official fix for this vulnerability. Manual validation of archives before processing is a possible workaround but not recommended compared to applying the patch.
Description
The github.com/jaredallard/archives library before version 1.0.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious user to craft archives leading to remote code execution or file modification within the context of the running user. The impact severity depends on the permissions of the user running the library and the environment, with higher risk when run as root or in production systems. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.0.1.
