Overview
pdm is an A modern Python package and dependency manager supporting the latest PEP standards
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following via the Config.__init__. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files outside the repository root by placing symlinks in project-local configuration paths and tricking a user into running local operations that write to these paths.
Note: This is only exploitable if the target file already exists and, for the pdm.toml sink, contains parseable TOML.
