Last modified
CVE-2026-22870 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. Prior to 2.7.1, GuardDog's safe_extract() function does not validate decompressed file sizes when extracting ZIP archives (wheels, eggs), allowing attackers to cause denial of service through zip bombs. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
