Summary

When `ocipkg` unpacks an OCI archive, the destination directory is derived from the image name, which `ocipkg` reads from the archive's **own** `index.json` (`org.opencontainers.image.ref.name`). That name is attacker-controlled, and `ImageName::parse` accepts a hostname of `..`, so the computed destination escapes the local image store. A "zip-slip"-style path traversal (CWE-22 / CWE-23). This is esclatable to code execution.

In `Artifact::unpack` (`src/image/artifact.rs`), the destination is `image_dir(name) = data_dir().join(name.as_path())` (`src/local/mod.rs:31`), where the name comes from `get_name_from_index` (`src/image/layout.rs:114-124`):

```rust let image_name = self.base.get_name()?; // from the archive's index.json ref.name let dest = image_dir(&image_name)?; // data_dir().join(name.as_path()); hostname ".." escapes if dest.exists() { if overwrite { fs::remove_dir_all(&dest)?; // deletes a directory OUTSIDE the store } } fs::create_dir_all(&dest)?; // ... each tar layer is then unpacked under `dest` (also outside the store) ```

## The fix

Fixed in `ocipkg` 0.4.1 by [PR #223](https://github.com/termoshtt/ocipkg/pull/223). The leading reference component is validated against the `org.opencontainers.image.ref.name` grammar from OCI Image Specification 1.1.1 on parse and deserialization, and `local::image_dir` revalidates the name and rejects any non-normal path component (e.g. `..`) before any filesystem mutation, so a crafted archive can no longer escape the local image store.
