Description (CNA)
Poetry is a dependency manager for Python. Prior to 2.3.4, the extractall() function in src/poetry/utils/helpers.py:410-426 extracts sdist tarballs without path traversal protection on Python versions where tarfile.data_filter is unavailable. Considering only Python versions which are still supported by Poetry, these are 3.10.0 - 3.10.12 and 3.11.0 - 3.11.4. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.4.

A flaw was found in Poetry, a dependency manager for Python. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a path traversal attack. By crafting a malicious software package, the `extractall()` function in Poetry can be tricked into writing files to unintended locations on the system. This could lead to the creation or overwrite of critical system files, potentially compromising the integrity of the system.
