CVE-2026-12482: Path Traversal via Symlink Name Validation Bypass in keras-team/keras

A vulnerability in keras-team/keras version 3.12.0 allows an attacker to craft a malicious tar archive that bypasses the filtersafetarinfos validation in keras/src/utils/fileutils.py. Specifically, symlink entries are not subjected to the same ispathindir validation as regular file entries, allowing symlinks to be created outside the intended extraction directory. This can lead to symlink-based file read, file overwrite, or directory escape attacks. The issue is particularly impactful on Python 3.10 and 3.11, where filtersafetarinfos is the sole defense against tar path traversal. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2025-12060 and other previously reported issues.
