CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in keras version 3.12.0 allows attackers to exploit the `filter_safe_tarinfos` function, enabling the creation of symlinks outside the intended extraction directory when processing malicious tar archives. This could lead to symlink-based file read, file overwrite, or directory escape attacks, particularly affecting users running Python 3.10 and 3.11, where this function is the only defense against tar path traversal. Developers and organizations utilizing this version of Keras should prioritize patching to mitigate potential security risks.
Original NVD Description
A vulnerability in keras-team/keras version 3.12.0 allows an attacker to craft a malicious tar archive that bypasses the `filter_safe_tarinfos` validation in `keras/src/utils/file_utils.py`. Specifically, symlink entries are not subjected to the same `is_path_in_dir` validation as regular file entries, allowing symlinks to be created outside the intended extraction directory. This can lead to symlink-based file read, file overwrite, or directory escape attacks. The issue is particularly impactful on Python 3.10 and 3.11, where `filter_safe_tarinfos` is the sole defense against tar path traversal. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2025-12060 and other previously reported issues.
