CVE-2026-63436: zt-zip: Path traversal in fluent API unpack
ZipUtil.unpack(...) rejects ZIP entries that escape the target output directory, but the Zips fluent API appears to use a separate unpack implementation that does not apply the same destination-boundary check.
A ZIP entry such as:
../escape/poc.txt
is written outside the configured destination directory when processed with:
Zips.get(zip).unpack().destination(outputDir).process();
The transformer branch is affected as well.
