tar has Hardlink Path Traversal via Drive-Relative Linkpath
`tar` (npm) can be tricked into creating a hardlink that points outside the extraction directory by using a drive-relative link target such as `C:../target.txt`, which enables file overwrite outside `cwd` during normal `tar.x()` extraction. |

node-tar Symlink Path Traversal via Drive-Relative Linkpath
`tar` (npm) can be tricked into creating a symlink that points outside the extraction directory by using a drive-relative symlink target such as `C:../../../target.txt`, which enables file overwrite outside `cwd` during normal `tar.x()` extraction. |

| summary |
Arbitrary File Read/Write via Hardlink Target Escape Through Symlink Chain in node-tar Extraction
`tar.extract()` in Node `tar` allows an attacker-controlled archive to create a hardlink inside the extraction directory that points to a file outside the extraction root, using default options.
This enables **arbitrary file read and write** as the extracting user (no root, no chmod, no `preservePaths`).
Severity is high because the primitive bypasses path protections and turns archive extraction into a direct filesystem access primitive. |
