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.

Affected Software

Affected Software

Python prior to version 3.6.13, versions 3.7.x prior to 3.7.10, 3.8.x prior to 3.8.7 and 3.9.x prior to 3.9.1.

Detection Method

Update to version 3.6.13, 3.7.10, 3.8.7, 3.9.1 or later.
