CVE-2018-1002207
mholt/archiver golang package before e4ef56d48eb029648b0e895bb0b6a393ef0829c3 is vulnerable to directory traversal, allowing attackers to write to arbitrary files via a ../ (dot dot slash) in an archive entry that is mishandled during extraction.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
