Pandora before version 1.12.6 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability due to unbounded decompression of DAA archive files. An attacker can submit a crafted DAA file with highly compressed data that expands to a large size in memory, causing excessive memory and CPU usage. This can make the extraction worker unresponsive or terminate it, impacting Pandora's availability. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-74767 with a high severity score of 8.7.

Pandora versions up to 1.12.5 contain a critical path traversal vulnerability in their TAR archive extraction functionality. The vulnerability arises because the extractor passes archive member names directly to Python's tarfile.TarFile.extract() without filtering, allowing crafted TAR archives with malicious paths to write files outside the intended directory. This can lead to overwriting files accessible to the Pandora worker process, potentially resulting in application compromise, arbitrary code execution, or denial of service depending on the targeted files and process privileges. The issue is addressed by using Python's filter='data' extraction filter to sanitize dangerous TAR members.
