Tarsafe is a Python library that provides a safe subclass of the standard library's `tarfile.TarFile` class, primarily addressing a known security vulnerability in the `extractall()` method. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement to safely interact with tar archives. The current version is 0.0.5, and its release cadence appears sporadic, reflecting its nature as a security-focused enhancement.
