CVE-2025-4330

Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination directory, and the modification of some file metadata.

You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the filter= parameter with a value of "data" or "tar". See the tarfile extraction filters documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter  for more information.

Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from "no filtering" to `"data", so if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected.

Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source distributions with suspicious links.

Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems. New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++ (or other languages, depending on the chosen implementation). Python is also usable as an extension language for applications written in other languages that need easy-to-use scripting or automation interfaces.

Security Fix(es):

Python is an open source, object-oriented programming language from the Python Foundation. This language has the characteristics of scalability, supporting modules and packages, and supporting multiple platforms. There is a security vulnerability in Python 3.12 and later versions. This vulnerability originates from the tarfile module extraction filter function that allows modifying file metadata and permissions outside the extract directory.(CVE-2024-12718)

This vulnerability allows modifying file metadata (e.g., last modified time) with filter='data' or file permissions (chmod) with filter='tar' for files outside the extraction directory when extracting untrusted tar archives. Affected scenarios include using the tarfile module's TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() methods with the filter parameter set to 'data' or 'tar'. Only Python versions unicodeescape or later are affected, as earlier versions do not include the extraction filter feature.(CVE-2024-12718)

Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination directory, and the modification of some file metadata. You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the filter= parameter with a value of "data" or "tar". See the tarfile extraction filters documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter  for more information. Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from "no filtering" to `"data", so if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected. Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source distributions with suspicious links.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.

Security Fix(es):

• cpython: Tarfile extracts filtered members when errorlevel=0 (CVE-2025-4435)
• cpython: Bypass extraction filter to modify file metadata outside extraction directory (CVE-2024-12718)
• cpython: Extraction filter bypass for linking outside extraction directory (CVE-2025-4330)
• python: cpython: Arbitrary writes via tarfile realpath overflow (CVE-2025-4517)

Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination directory, and the modification of some file metadata.

You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the filter= parameter with a value of "data" or "tar". See the tarfile extraction filters documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter  for more information.

Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from "no filtering" to `"data", so if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected.

Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source distributions with suspicious links.
