This PR mitigates the security vulnerability CVE-2024-55587, which allows directory traversal attacks when extracting ZIP files using python-libarchive.
Fix Implemented:
Sanitized Filenames:
Introduced sanitize_filename() in zip.py to remove malicious path components like ../ and absolute paths.
Ensures extracted files remain within the intended directory.
Updated extract() and extractall():
Applied sanitize_filename() to prevent unsafe file extractions.
Raised ValueError if an unsafe path is detected.
Added Test Cases:
Unit tests in test_zip.py to validate:
Prevents directory traversal attacks, mitigating the security risk.
Ensures backward compatibility with existing safe extractions.
Improves overall security of ZipFile extraction methods.
