🚨HIGH - oras-go OCI layer unpack tar symlink traversal (CVE-2026-85731) oras-go content/file.Store tar extraction when unpacking OCI layers annotated io.deis.oras.content.unpack=true can be abused via crafted symlink chains that pass lexical checks but resolve to attacker-chosen absolute paths, writing outside the store working dir. This enables arbitrary file overwrite even with AllowPathTraversalOnWrite=false, potentially leading to RCE. 👉Affected: http://oras.land/oras-go/v2 < 2.6.2 | Upgrade to 2.6.2
