    Tendenci Affected by Authenticated Remote Code Execution via Pickle Deserialization

    CVE-2026-23946 · GHSA-339m-4qw5-j2g3

    Affected
    • PyPI tendenci < 15.3.12
    Fixed in
    15.3.12· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    A critical deserialization vulnerability exists in Tendenci Helpdesk module (NOTE, by default, Helpdesk is NOT enabled), affecting the version 15.3.11 and earlier. This vulnerability allows remote code execution (RCE) by an authenticated user with staff security level due to using Python's pickle module on the helpdesk /reports/. The damage is contained to the user that your Tendenci application runs. Key Finding: The original CVE-2020-14942 was incompletely patched. While ticketlist() was fixed to use safe JSON deserialization, the runreport() function still uses unsafe pickle.loads(). Permission Scoping: The impact is limited to the permissions of the user running the application, typically www-data, which generally lacks write (except for upload directories) and execute permissions.
