Zipbomb

What is Zipbomb?

When you extract the files from a zip file to a folder with other files before checking if the files are stored in a folder in the zip.

This also applies to 7z, tar, and other archive files.

$ tar -xvcf something.tar.gz

file.txt

anotherfile.txt

et.c.

NOOOO MY HOME DIRECTORY JUST GOT ZIPBOMBED! I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO REMOVE ALL THOSE FILES!
