          "details": "CVE-2023-7216 requires local user interaction—an attacker must convince someone to manually extract a crafted cpio archive—so it is not exploitable over the network. Even when triggered, it only enables writes via symlink traversal within the privileges of the extracting process (no privilege escalation or automatic remote code execution), so sensitive system files are not impacted unless a privileged user explicitly extracts the archive as root. Given that enterprise VM/server workflows typically handle archives through scripted, trusted pipelines rather than ad‑hoc extractions of untrusted content, the practical exploitation likelihood is low and this CVE can be safely deprioritized.",
