Summary
A flaw was found in the decompression function of registry-support. This issue can be triggered if an unauthenticated remote attacker tricks a user into parsing a devfile which uses the `parent` or `plugin` keywords.
This could download a malicious archive and cause the cleanup process to overwrite or delete files outside of the archive, which should not be allowed. Red Hat Openshift has a "Low" rated impact due to the affected code being shipped, but unused.

Affected Red Hat products: OpenShift Developer Tools and Services; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. Will not fix / out of support: OpenShift Developer Tools and Services.
