Can you contact the security team (info at https://www.python.org/dev/security/ 
) directly?

In general, tarfile (and other Python file functions!) can create files 
anywhere on the filesystem, provided that the process user has the right 
permissions.  But it seems that you’re talking about an unexpected behaviour 
leading to unwanted operations, so please send more details about the problem 
to the team.  Thank you for your report!
