downloads and unpacks release archives from the / repositories. When it extracts an archive, it builds each output path by joining the archive entry's **own name** onto the destination directory, with no check for or absolute components — a classic "zip-slip" path traversal (CWE-22 / CWE-23). A crafted archive can therefore create or overwrite files outside the intended extraction directory. In ( ), the ZIP branch does: ## Proof of concept A one-entry ZIP whose entry name is , passed to (obtained via the crate's public ), writes as a sibling of the destination directory, outside it.
