Details

The Drupal project uses the third-party library Archive\_Tar, which has released a security improvement that is needed to protect some Drupal configurations.

Multiple vulnerabilities are possible if Drupal is configured to allow .tar, .tar.gz, .bz2 or .tlz file uploads and processes them.

The latest versions of Drupal update Archive_Tar to 1.4.9 to mitigate the file processing vulnerabilities.

*Edited to clarify the nature of the upstream release.*

Is DRUPAL-CORE-2019-012 in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected drupal/core, and gives you the command that fixes it.
