Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for pypy3.

CVE-2026-7774[0]:
| tarfile.data_filter could be bypassed using crafted link entries,
| including symlinks with empty or directory-like names, to redirect
| later archive members outside the intended extraction directory.
| This allowed a malicious tar archive to cause tarfile.extractall()
| to write files outside the destination directory, subject to the
| permissions of the extracting process.
