AI-Generated

The vulnerability affects the peerigon unzip-crx and unzip-crx-3 libraries up to version 0.2.0, specifically in the unzip function of the dist/index.js file, allowing for local path traversal due to improper handling of the destination argument. Although the severity is classified as low, the potential for local exploitation means that developers using these libraries should prioritize patching or upgrading to mitigate the risk. Organizations relying on these components for archive extraction should assess their exposure and take appropriate action.
