Description

### Impact When extracting an untrusted archive with the default `decompress(input, output)` API, a crafted archive containing a chain of symlink entries can make a later entry resolve **outside** the output directory. The lexical containment checks pass, but the kernel follows the planted symlinks to a path outside `output`, letting an attacker write (and read) files outside the intended extraction directory. Overwriting startup scripts or configuration can lead to remote code execution. This is a bypass of the hardening in GHSA-mp2f-45pm-3cg9. Any application that extracts attacker-controlled archives is affected. ### Patches Fixed in **11.1.4** (`latest`) and backported to **10.2.2** (`release-v10` dist-tag). Upgrade to one of these. The unmaintained upstream `decompress` package shares this flaw and will not be patched. Migrate to `@xhmikosr/decompress@11.1.4` (or `@10.2.2`). ### Workarounds None. Do not extract untrusted archives on affected versions. If you cannot upgrade, validate entries out of band and reject any whose resolved path escapes the target directory.
