Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The safe-eval module describes itself as a safer version of eval. By accessing the object constructors, un-sanitized user input can access the entire standard library and effectively break out of the sandbox.
