CVE-2026-25645: Requests has Insecure Temp File Reuse in its extract_zipped_paths() utility function

March 25, 2026 (updated March 27, 2026)

The requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths() utility function uses a predictable filename when extracting files from zip archives into the system temporary directory. If the target file already exists, it is reused without validation. A local attacker with write access to the temp directory could pre-create a malicious file that would be loaded in place of the legitimate one.
