——8An interface that accepts file uploads from authenticated users extracts the contents of uploaded archives without validating that extracted file paths remain within the intended destination directory. This allows an authenticated attacker to craft an archive whose entries traverse outside the destination directory, causing the extraction process to write files to arbitrary locations with the privileges of that process. This could allow an attacker to inject fabricated records into the system's stored data or tamper with application configuration.2d CVE-2026-498467.5 HIG

——8libks provides foundational support for signalwire C products. Prior to version 2.0.11, `clean_uri()` in libks's HTTP request parser fails to reject URIs whose path has more segments than its internal canonicalization buffer can hold. The canonicalization step silently passes such URIs through with embedded ".." sequences intact, enabling path traversal in any consumer that later joins the URI with a filesystem path. Version 2.0.11 patches the issue.2d CVE-2026-87910—

——11When tarfile extracts a link on a system that doesn't support links, it falls back to extracting a member from the archive. In this case, the filter function is run twice: once for the extracted member, and once with name set to the location of the link. For one of the calls, the return value was ignored. Instead, the member should be skipped if either call returns None.2d
