description
Rust zip versions 7.2.0 through 8.x can mishandle symbolic links while extracting archives with ZipArchive::extract or extract_unwrapped_root_dir. An attacker who supplies an archive and knows or can predict the absolute extraction directory may cause files to be created or overwritten beyond that directory with the extractor's permissions.
mitigation
Upgrade the Rust zip crate to version 9.0.0 or later. Until upgrading, avoid extracting untrusted archives with the affected APIs and run extraction with tightly restricted filesystem permissions.
fixed in 9.0.0
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
