CVE-2026-59875

CVE-2026-59875 is a vulnerability in node-tar, a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to version 7.5.17, node-tar does not strip NUL bytes from PAX path and linkpath records, allowing a crafted archive to reach fs.lstat or fs.open and terminate the process with an uncaught exception.

CVE-2026-59874

CVE-2026-59874 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the node-tar library's tar.replace function. The issue arises when the function accepts a checksum-valid tar header with a negative base-256 encoded entry size. This causes the archive scanner to repeatedly parse the same header, making no progress. The vulnerability was fixed in version 7.5.18. Affected applications that use node-tar to manipulate ta [truncated]

CVE-2026-59871

CVE-2026-59871 is a vulnerability in node-tar, a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to version 7.5.18, node-tar coerces all-digit PAX path and linkpath values in src/pax.ts to JavaScript numbers, causing downstream path handling such as normalizeWindowsPath(entry.path).split('/') to throw an uncaught TypeError. This issue is fixed in version 7.5.18. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5 [truncated]

CVE-2026-29786

CVE-2026-29786 is a high-severity vulnerability in node-tar, a full-featured Tar for Node.js. Prior to version 7.5.10, tar can be tricked into creating a hardlink that points outside the extraction directory by using a drive-relative link target such as C:../target.txt, which enables file overwrite outside cwd during normal tar.x() extraction. This issue has been patched in version 7.5.10. The vulnerabili [truncated]
