Tarsafe

Unit Tests

Tarsafe is a drop-in replacement for the tarfile module from the standard library to safely handle the vulnerable extractall() method. Inspired by a 6 year old security bug.

Installation

$ pip install tarsafe

Usage

from tarsafe import TarSafe

tar = TarSafe.open("example.tar", "r")
tar.extractall()
tar.close()

# OR

with TarSafe.open("example.tar", "r") as tar:
    tar.extractall()
