[dependabot]

Bumps tar from 6.2.1 to 7.5.7.

Changelog

Sourced from tar's changelog.

Changelog

7.5

• Added zstd compression support.
• Consistent TOCTOU behavior in sync t.list
• Only read from ustar block if not specified in Pax
• Fix sync tar.list when file size reduces while reading
• Sanitize absolute linkpaths properly
• Prevent writing hardlink entries to the archive ahead of their file target

7.4

• Deprecate onentry in favor of onReadEntry for clarity.

7.3

• Add onWriteEntry option

7.2

• DRY the command definitions into a single makeCommand method, and update the type signatures to more appropriately infer the return type from the options and arguments provided.

7.1

• Update minipass to v7.1.0
• Update the type definitions of write() and end() methods on Unpack and Parser classes to be compatible with the NodeJS.WritableStream type in the latest versions of @types/node.

7.0

• Drop support for node <18
• Rewrite in TypeScript, provide ESM and CommonJS hybrid interface
• Add tree-shake friendly exports, like import('tar/create') and import('tar/read-entry') to get individual functions or classes.
• Add chmod option that defaults to false, and deprecate noChmod. That is, reverse the default option regarding explicitly setting file system modes to match tar entry settings.
• Add processUmask option to avoid having to call process.umask() when chmod: true (or noChmod: false) is set.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Updated tar from 6.2.1 to 7.5.7, a major version upgrade that includes important security fixes and new features.

Key Changes:

• Upgraded tar package from v6.2.1 to v7.5.7 (major version bump)
• Updated transitive dependencies: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and new @isaacs/[email protected]
• Security improvements: sanitized hardlink paths, TOCTOU fixes, and proper handling of hardlink entries
• New features: zstd compression support, onWriteEntry option

Impact Analysis:

• The tar package is only used in scripts/build-geo.js for extracting GeoLite2 database files
• The API used (tar.t()) is compatible across versions with no breaking changes
• Node.js >= 18 requirement is satisfied (CI uses Node 18.18, Docker uses Node 22)
• Security fixes address potential path traversal vulnerabilities in tar extraction

Compatibility:

• No code changes required - the upgrade is backward compatible for this codebase's usage
• The project's Node.js version requirements are compatible with tar v7's minimum requirement

Confidence Score: 4.5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk - it's a straightforward dependency update with security improvements
• High confidence based on: (1) Limited usage scope - only used in one build script for tar extraction, (2) API compatibility verified - no breaking changes affect the codebase, (3) Node.js version requirements met, (4) Security improvements included. Minor deduction (0.5) because it's a major version bump that hasn't been tested yet in this environment
• No files require special attention - the changes are isolated to dependency declarations
