Description
**Severity**: HIGH (Bandit B202)
**File**: `src/crate/testing/layer.py`
## Vulnerability
`tarfile.extractall()` without member validation allows path traversal (zip slip). A malicious archive can write files outside the target directory.
## Fix
```python
import os
SAFE_ID = __import__("re").compile(r"^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+$")
def _is_within_directory(directory, target):
abs_directory = os.path.realpath(directory)
abs_target = os.path.realpath(target)
return abs_target.startswith(abs_directory + os.sep) or abs_target == abs_directory
def safe_extract(tar, path=".", members=None, *, numeric_owner=False):
for member in tar.getmembers():
member_path = os.path.join(path, member.name)
if not _is_within_directory(path, member_path):
raise Exception(f"Path traversal in tar: {member.name}")
tar.extractall(path, members, numeric_owner=numeric_owner)
```
