bsdtar is preferred over 7-Zip by some Linux distributions due to arbitrary code execution vulnarablities in 7-Zip like CVE-2026-48095. bsdtar is available in macOS with Command-line tools installed

bsdtar is preferred over 7-Zip by some Linux distributions due to
arbitrary code execution vulnarablities in 7-Zip like CVE-2026-48095.
libarchive's xar code was unfortunately buggy (fixed betwee 3.7.2 and
3.8.5) so keep 7-Zip as fallback.
bsdtar from macOS' Command-line tools is at least in macOS 15 buggy as
well.
