Summary
Vercel deepsec from 0.1.0 before 1.1.17 contains a link following flaw in extractTarballLocally (CWE-59). Code running in a sandbox, such as a prompt-injected coding agent, can plant symbolic or hard links in result tarballs. Those links let it write arbitrary files outside the sandbox on the orchestrator host.
