> DESCRIPTION

The decompress package for Node.js extracts archives. Prior to 10.2.1 and 11.1.3, archive extraction can create files and links outside the target directory. When extracting an archive to a directory, a crafted archive can read or write files outside that directory because hardlink and symlink entries are created without checking where targets point, path containment used a string prefix comparison, and file modes failed to remove setuid, setgid, or sticky bits. This issue is fixed in @xhmikosr/decompress versions 10.2.1 and 11.1.3.

CWE-22 CWE-59 CWE-732

> CWE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS

CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory - The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. | CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access - The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource. | CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource - The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.
