    simplejson before 2.6.1 vulnerable to array index error

    Affected
    • PyPI simplejson < 2.6.1
    Fixed in
    2.6.1· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Array index error in the scanstring function in the json module in Python 2.7 through 3.5 and simplejson before 2.6.1 allows context-dependent attackers to read arbitrary process memory via a negative index value in the idx argument to the rawdecode function.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.6.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
