- Bump direct dependency tar in packages/mongodb-downloader from ^7.5.11 to ^7.5.16 - Add overrides.tar >= 7.5.16 in root package.json to force all transitive consumers (lerna pins tar@7.5.11 exactly) to use the patched version Fixes Dependabot alert #279 (CVE-2026-53655 / GHSA-vmf3-w455-68vh).

Security fix: tar PAX size override interpretation differential
Resolves Dependabot alert #279.
Advisory
tar(node-tar) ≤ 7.5.15 applies PAX extended-headersize=overrides to intermediary GNU long-name (L) / long-link (K) headers, causing a parser interpretation differential (CWE-436). A crafted archive can present different member lists to node-tar vs. GNU tar/libarchive/Python tarfile, defeating security scanners. Fixed intar@7.5.16.Changes
packages/mongodb-downloader/package.json— bumped the directtardependency from^7.5.11→^7.5.16.package.json(root) — addedoverrides.tar >= 7.5.16.Why the override?
lerna@9.0.7(a root devDependency) pinstarto exactly7.5.11in its own dependency tree and 9.0.7 is the latest lerna release — there is no lerna upgrade that clears the advisory. Theoverridesentry forces everytarconsumer in the workspace to resolve to the patched7.5.16, consolidating what would otherwise have been a nested installation into a single root-level entry.
