This package might be vulnerable to CVE-2025-59343 due to its dependency on an old version of tar-fs. I don't know if this CVE can be exploited with prebuild-install, but better safe than sorry here. Not-cherry-picked-because: Package was dropped on master (NixOS#470892)

It appears to be unmaintained upstream, and it's definitely unmaintained in Nixpkgs. See upstream's recommendations for alternatives.
Also looks like one of it's dependencies is an older version of
globthat has a CVE (CVE-2025-59343), though it's unclear to me if prebuild-install is actually vulnerable. There are patches pending upstream that have not been merged: prebuild/prebuild-install#214Part of #229475.
