Overview
dspy is a DSPy
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via the parsing of untrusted output fields in the Image and Audio adapters. An attacker can access arbitrary local files by injecting a filesystem path into the url field, causing the application to read and encode the file contents, which are then sent to an attacker-controlled endpoint.
