Overview

crewai-tools is a Set of tools for the crewAI framework

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Protection of Alternate Path due to the blocklist mechanism operating at the import system level rather than accounting for the complete Python runtime. An attacker can bypass intended restrictions by directly invoking ctypes.CDLL or similar objects, allowing execution of native code within the sandboxed environment.
