 B202: Test for tarfile.extractall
 =================================
 
-This plugin will look for usage of ``tarfile.extractall()``
+This plugin will look for usage of ``tarfile.extractall()`` and
+``tarfile.extract()``
 
 Severity are set as follows:
 
 * ``tarfile.extractall(members=function(tarfile))`` - LOW
 * ``tarfile.extractall(members=?)`` - member is not a function - MEDIUM
 * ``tarfile.extractall()`` - members from the archive is trusted - HIGH
+* ``tarfile.extract()`` - no member validation - HIGH
 
 Use ``tarfile.extractall(members=function_name)`` and define a function
 that will inspect each member. Discard files that contain a directory
