CVE-2026-27905: Tarfile Custom Extract Symlink Traversal
A custom tarfile extraction routine extracts symlinks without validating the symlink's target (`member.linkname`). An attacker can exploit this to create a symlink pointing outside the intended destination directory, allowing arbitrary file writes when subsequent tar members are extracted through the symlink. Validate that the resolved symlink target points
