Overview
celery is a Distributed Task Queue.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable due to an Insecure Default. The accept_content setting was set to: app.conf.accept_content = ['json', 'pickle', 'msgpack', 'yaml'] by default, allowed deserialization of pickled messages, even if the software is configured to send
messages in the JSON format.
Note An attacker requires access to the message broker used to send messages to Celery workers in order to exploit this vulnerability.
