Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Path Traversal: Insecure handling of extraction paths allows attackers to write files outside the destination directory via crafted archive entries (Zip Slip).

Path Traversal: Extraction of TAR archives is susceptible to path traversal via hardlink and symbolic link targets, allowing link creation pointing to sensitive system files.

Path Traversal: The custom io/fs virtual filesystem implementation failed to sanitize access paths, permitting arbitrary file read and write operations outside the designated virtual root.
