Overview

org.python:jython-standalone is a Python emulator written in 100% Pure Java, and seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. It thus allows you to run Python on any Java platform.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass when it creates class cache files and uses the current umask to set the privileges of the class cache files, which makes them to be world-writeable. Exploiting this vulnerability allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified vectors.
