There is no fixed version for ait-core.

Overview

ait-core is a NASA JPL's Ground Data System toolkit for Instrument and CubeSat Missions

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') via a crafted packet. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted packet to the server.

Note: Although the eval function is handy, it is inherently insecure. It is recommended to use third-party libraries that provide the same functionality but sanitise the input to handle expression evaluation securely.
