HIGH 8.1UPGRADE

CVE-2026-11816 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) affecting keras. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Keras versions prior to 3.14.0 are vulnerable to a path traversal issue in the archive extraction utilities located in `keras/src/utils/file_utils.py`. The functions `filter_safe_tarinfos()` and `filter_safe_zipinfos()` validate archive member paths against the process current working directory (CWD) instead of the actual extraction destination. When the process runs with CWD set to `/`, which is common in Docker containers, CI/CD runners, and Ju
