CVSS: 8.6EPSS: 0%CPEs: 7EXPL: 0CVE-2021-37713 – Arbitrary File Creation/Overwrite on Windows via insufficient relative path sanitization
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-37713
The npm package "tar" (aka node-tar) before versions 4.4.18, 5.0.10, and 6.1.9 has an arbitrary file creation/overwrite and arbitrary code execution vulnerability. node-tar aims to guarantee that any file whose location would be outside of the extraction target directory is not extracted. This is, in part, accomplished by sanitizing absolute paths of entries within the archive, skipping archive entries that contain `..` path portions, and resolving the sanitized paths against the extraction target directory. This logic was insufficient on Windows systems when extracting tar files that contained a path that was not an absolute path, but specified a drive letter different from the extraction target, such as `C:some\path`. If the drive letter does not match the extraction target, for example `D:\extraction\dir`, then the result of `path.resolve(extractionDirectory, entryPath)` would resolve against the current working directory on the `C:` drive, rather than the extraction target directory. Additionally, a `..` portion of the path could occur immediately after the drive letter, such as `C:.. • https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-389290.pdf https://github.com/npm/node-tar/security/advisories/GHSA-5955-9wpr-37jh https://www.npmjs.com/package/tar https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2021.html • CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') •

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-37701
The npm package "tar" (aka node-tar) before versions 4.4.16, 5.0.8, and 6.1.7 has an arbitrary file creation/overwrite and arbitrary code execution vulnerability. node-tar aims to guarantee that any file whose location would be modified by a symbolic link is not extracted. This is, in part, achieved by ensuring that extracted directories are not symlinks. Additionally, in order to prevent unnecessary stat calls to determine whether a given path is a directory, paths are cached when directories are created. This logic was insufficient when extracting tar files that contained both a directory and a symlink with the same name as the directory, where the symlink and directory names in the archive entry used backslashes as a path separator on posix systems. The cache checking logic used both `\` and `/` characters as path separators, however `\` is a valid filename character on posix systems. • https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-389290.pdf https://github.com/npm/node-tar/security/advisories/GHSA-9r2w-394v-53qc https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/12/msg00023.html https://www.debian.org/security/2021/dsa-5008 https://www.npmjs.com/package/tar https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2021.html https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-37701 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1999731 • CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') •

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-32804
The npm package "tar" (aka node-tar) before versions 6.1.1, 5.0.6, 4.4.14, and 3.3.2 has a arbitrary File Creation/Overwrite vulnerability due to insufficient absolute path sanitization. node-tar aims to prevent extraction of absolute file paths by turning absolute paths into relative paths when the `preservePaths` flag is not set to `true`. This is achieved by stripping the absolute path root from any absolute file paths contained in a tar file. For example `/home/user/.bashrc` would turn into `home/user/.bashrc`. This logic was insufficient when file paths contained repeated path roots such as `////home/user/.bashrc`. `node-tar` would only strip a single path root from such paths. • https://github.com/yamory/CVE-2021-32804 https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-389290.pdf https://github.com/npm/node-tar/commit/1f036ca23f64a547bdd6c79c1a44bc62e8115da4 https://github.com/npm/node-tar/security/advisories/GHSA-3jfq-g458-7qm9 https://www.npmjs.com/advisories/1770 https://www.npmjs.com/package/tar https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2021.html https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-32804 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1990409 • CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') •
