summary:

[3.13] gh-146581: Fix vulnerability in shutil.unpack_archive() for ZIP files on 
Windows (GH-146591) (GH-149065)

Use ZipFile.extractall() to sanitize file names and extract files.

Files with invalid names (e.g. absolute paths) are now skipped.

Files containing ".." in the name are no longer skipped.
(cherry picked from commit fc829e88753858c8ac669594bf0093f44948c0f4)
