Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the untar function of the Model Download Handler component, which fails to properly sanitize archive file paths during extraction. An attacker can craft a malicious model archive with path traversal sequences (e.g., "../../../") to write files outside the intended directory. This is a CWE-22 path traversal flaw exploitable remotely by providing a specially crafted model download.
