How to fix?

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') in the wait function. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by supplying a crafted string.

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.
