Summary
Python is prone to a remote code execution vulnerability.
Insight
Insight
By default, the tests are not run with network resources enabled and so the Python test suite is safe. But if the Python test suite is run explicitly with the 'network' resource enabled (-u network or -u all command line option), the CJK codecs tests of the Python test suite run eval() on content received via HTTP from pythontest.net.
