Adds a rule detecting tar-archive extraction via extractall()/extract() with no filter= argument - the CVE-2007-4559 "tarslip" path-traversal class (CWE-22). Motivating case: CVE-2026-43637. Validated against torchvision, keras, scikit-learn, and cornac: 1 true positive (torchvision's _extract_tar) and 0 false positives. Ignores every filter= form and all zipfile usage. Known limitation: matches inline open→extract usage and helpers typed tarfile.TarFile; does not follow archives passed into untyped helper functions, since the open-source Semgrep taint engine is intra-function.
