      "value": "Penelope Shell Handler is a post-exploitation shell handler for authorized security testing. Prior to 0.20.0, the Unix download() implementation in penelope.py used tar.extractall(local_download_folder) on tar archives returned by remote sessions without validating member paths, allowing a malicious or compromised session to write files outside the intended download directory and potentially overwrite ~/.penelope/peneloperc. This issue is fixed in version 0.20.0."

Antes de la versión 0.20.0, la implementación de download() de Unix en penelope.py utilizaba tar.extractall(local_download_folder) en archivos tar devueltos por sesiones remotas sin validar las rutas de los miembros, permitiendo que una sesión maliciosa o comprometida escribiera archivos fuera del directorio de descarga previsto y potencialmente sobrescribiera ~/.penelope/peneloperc. Este problema se ha corregido en la versión 0.20.0."
