CVE-2025-64118 affects node-tar version 7.5.1. The current constraint ^7.4.3 allows installation of the vulnerable version.

Changes

  • Updated package.json: "tar": "^7.4.3""tar": "^7.5.2"

This change blocks version 7.5.1 via semver constraint while allowing 7.5.2+ (current latest: 7.5.2).

"dependencies": {
  "tar": "^7.5.2"
}

Verification: semver.satisfies('7.5.1', '^7.5.2') returns false.
