What it is

archives is a Go library for extracting archives (tar, zip, etc.). Version 1.0.0 does not prevent a malicious user to feed a specially crafted archive to the library causing RCE, modification of files or other malignancies in the context of whatever the user is running this library as, through the program that imports it. Severity depends on user permissions, environment and how arbitrary archives are passed. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.1.
