| CVE-2025-64118 | Med | 0.33 | — | 0.00 | Oct 30, 2025 | node-tar is a Tar for Node.js. In 7.5.1, using .t (aka .list) with { sync: true } to read tar entry contents returns uninitialized memory contents if tar file was changed on disk to a smaller size while being read. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.2. | ||

| CVE-2026-31802 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Mar 9, 2026 | node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. Prior to version 7.5.11, tar (npm) can be tricked into creating a symlink that points outside the extraction directory by using a drive-relative symlink target such as C:../../../target.txt, which enables file overwrite outside cwd… | |||

| CVE-2026-26960 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Feb 20, 2026 | node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. When using default options in versions 7.5.7 and below, an attacker-controlled archive can create a hardlink inside the extraction directory that points to a file outside the extraction root, enabling arbitrary file read and write as… | |||
| CVE-2026-24842 | 0.00 | — | 0.01 | Jan 28, 2026 | node-tar,a Tar for Node.js, contains a vulnerability in versions prior to 7.5.7 where the security check for hardlink entries uses different path resolution semantics than the actual hardlink creation logic. This mismatch allows an attacker to craft a malicious TAR archive that… | |||
| CVE-2026-23950 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Jan 20, 2026 | node-tar,a Tar for Node.js, has a race condition vulnerability in versions up to and including 7.5.3. This is due to an incomplete handling of Unicode path collisions in the `path-reservations` system. On case-insensitive or normalization-insensitive filesystems (such as macOS… | |||
| CVE-2026-23745 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Jan 16, 2026 | node-tar is a Tar for Node.js. The node-tar library (<= 7.5.2) fails to sanitize the linkpath of Link (hardlink) and SymbolicLink entries when preservePaths is false (the default secure behavior). This allows malicious archives to bypass the extraction root restriction, leading… | |||
| CVE-2024-28863 | 0.00 | — | 0.01 | Mar 21, 2024 | node-tar is a Tar for Node.js. node-tar prior to version 6.2.1 has no limit on the number of sub-folders created in the folder creation process. An attacker who generates a large number of sub-folders can consume memory on the system running node-tar and even crash the Node.js… | |||
| CVE-2018-20834 | 0.00 | — | 0.03 | Apr 30, 2019 | A vulnerability was found in node-tar before version 4.4.2 (excluding version 2.2.2). An Arbitrary File Overwrite issue exists when extracting a tarball containing a hardlink to a file that already exists on the system, in conjunction with a later plain file with the same name… |
