Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Path Traversal vulnerability in gdown version 5.2.1 highlights the risks of extracting untrusted archives without proper filename validation. By allowing malicious ZIP or TAR files to write outside the intended directory, this flaw can lead to arbitrary file overwrite and, in some cases, even remote code execution.
