While configuration values were normalized to Python literals, the corresponding keys were used directly when constructing and replacing lines in conf/config_module.py.\n\n\nThe vulnerable code used requester-controlled keys in both the regular expression and the generated assignment:\n\n\nf'{key} = {py_val}'\n\nand appended an assignment if the key was not already present. The modified Python configuration module was subsequently reloaded using importlib.reload(). This creates a code-generation boundary in which specially crafted configuration keys can alter the Python source structure and result in execution of attacker-controlled Python statements. \n\nVersion impacted >=3.3.0","published":"2026-08-27T13:18:42.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-28T15:28:33.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"5a6e4751-2f3f-4070-9419-94fb35b644e8","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":8.6,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-20","CWE-94"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00527,"percentile":0.44365,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.53%).
