CVE-2020-13388 · GHSA-h72c-w3q3-55qq
- Affected
- PyPI jw-util < 2.3
- Fixed in
- 2.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- An exploitable vulnerability exists in the configuration-loading functionality of the jw.util package before 2.3 for Python. When loading a configuration with FromString or FromStream with YAML, one can execute arbitrary Python code, resulting in OS command execution, because safeload is not used.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
