Python 15-Year Tarfile Flaw In Over 350,000 Code Projects | Tony UV

On Tuesday, security firm Trellix said its threat researchers had encountered a vulnerability in Python's tarfile module, which provides a way to read and write compressed bundles of files known as tar archives. Initially, the bug hunters thought they'd chanced upon a zero-day.

It turned out to be about a 5,500-day issue: the bug has been living its best life for the past decade-and-a-half while awaiting extinction.

In this video, VerSprite CEO, Tony UV talks about the Python Flaw and what organizations should do with this threat.
