Lack of data validation - Path Traversal In tough
Description
Improper sanitization of target names
Impact
The tough library, prior to 0.12.0, does not properly sanitize target names when caching a repository, or when saving specific targets to an output directory. When targets are cached or saved, files could be overwritten with arbitrary content anywhere on the system.
